Ulpotha, Sri Lanka, 2nd of February to 16th of February / 2025

 

Ulpotha is a Buddhist agricultural community in the jungle heartland of Sri Lanka, offering guests not only world class Yoga but also traditional Ayurveda healing in an incomparably beautiful setting as close to nature as is humanly possible.

If you are looking for an emotional, spiritual or physical reset, come stay at Ulpotha. You can walk barefoot in pristine nature and swim in the silky-smooth waters of our lotus ringed lake, far removed from stresses of the modern world. If a digital detox, the song of chirping birds and to sleep like a baby attract you, Ulpotha can offer you that and more.

Ulpotha exists in a world where it’s safe enough to live without fences or walls or doors or locks. You’ll be looked after by its gentle, traditional agricultural community, among whom you will be living in nature’s soft, age-old rhythms.

In what it offers, Ulpotha is both rare and real.
