Tree Tops Jungle Lodge offers the total Sri Lankan jungle experience to its guests. Living with wild elephants and 165 species of birds, this lodge was originally part of a reserve for hunters. Now, it is a haven for hunters of adventure, just a stone’s throw way from the Yala National Park that covers the south eastern corner of Sri Lanka. With over 1300 km of flora and fauna, the Tee Tops Jungle Lodge shares a lot of vistas with the natural park that makes it more enticing for travels to come.

Green Comment:

The hotel surprisingly runs on no electricity, for the elephants in the area not to be disturbed in their own natural environment. The camp also employs a 100% natural horticultural and landscaping system. On the community involvement initiative of the lodge, they employ 100% of the staff from the local community, with a philosophy that everything done in the camp’s operation must be local in a way. They undergo training on environmental sustainability and practice.
