Kandy: Jungle 5 Day Yoga & Nature Retreat 5 Day Yoga & Nature Retreat - Single private

Join a yoga retreat in Kandy and stay at a family-run eco-lodge in the jungle. Plant trees, learn about Sri Lankan culture, and practice yoga surrounded by wildlife.
Wake up to the sounds of birds from your cabin nestled deep in the jungle. Take a 10-minute jungle trek to the yoga shala, roll out your mat, and say hello to the monkeys welcoming you in for your morning yoga practice.

Enjoy a retreat perfect for yogis looking to immerse themselves in nature, pursue authentic local experiences, and participate in a sustainable environmental project.

Stay at Polwaththa, a locally owned and family-run eco-lodge, and be immediately welcomed. Chat about Sri Lankan culture, learn some Sinhalese, and hear about the local thoughts on basic Buddhist principles.

While you’re here, have the option of getting involved with the Forest Healing Foundation, planting your own trees in an effort to reforest the area. You’ll also have the chance to connect with locals, helping them practice their English.

At the wooden jungle shala, walkable from the lodge via a short trek through the trees, your yoga sessions will be complemented by the sights and sounds of wildlife such as monkeys and exotic birds.
