Delving into Sri Lankan nature with Eco Team's Ahas Pokuna

Anuruddha Bandara; a pioneer in tourism innovations has created Sri Lanka’s first, all-suite, luxury, private bush walks camp,  Ahas Pokuna.

A lake that is fed entirely by rain waters is credited for the name of the locality, “Ahas” being sky and “Pokuna” being lake in the Sinhalese language. On the shores of this  waterway is a wilderness retreat that allows guests to become one with nature and enjoy a tranquil holiday experience like no other, a statement from the company said.

Situated within a 2,300 hectare nature reserve, Ahas Pokuna is a 30 acre private reserve in the hill country and houses three luxury suite tents complete with an arrival deck, sleeping tent, luggage and powder lounge, a fully-fledged bathroom tent that has hot and cold water, romantic star bed/day bed for relaxation or sleep during the day or night, and the first-ever bush bath tub in Sri Lanka.

All of this overlooks the grassland in the 1,000 square metres of private space protected by an elephant fence that is yours to enjoy during your stay. Ahas Pokuna is the only property in Sri Lanka that has a private star bed for each accommodation unit, making it one of the most ruggedly romantic locations to stay at.

Ahas Pokuna by the Eco Team is well connected from the upper mountains (Nuwara Eliya/Hatton) and Udawalwe/Yala National Parks which are 2 to 3 hours away.
