After breakfast Straigh to the remot village of Anamaduwa in Sri lanka Rural North -West.

Anamaduwa is an authentic Sri Lankan village surrounded by a vast network of ancient irrigation tanks that, just like natural lakes, attract a variety of bird life and support the locals that live nearby. The village and tanks are flanked by evergreen dry zone forest attracting deer, giant squirrel as well as wild boar

Staying at The Mudhouse will be like stepping back in time to your own Sri Lankan village in the jungle and to a more simple way of life, where things move at your leisurely pace. The majority of the people in the area are farmers and the area is surrounded by acres of paddy fields which are irrigated by the various tanks (lakes). Friday is market day in the nearest town, and traders from across the region converge to create a colourful fair which is well worth a visit. Although the town is moving forward with the times it still retains its old-world charm.  Largely untouched by tourism, the region has escaped mass development, and the fact that guidebooks somehow devote so little attention to it is probably a huge blessing

Accommodation: Overnight stay at a hotel in Anamaduwa
