Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Sahana retreat is a farm house that is real in many aspects... the rustic ambience... farm... sound ... colour .... river ...and people ....everything we felt authentic ... nothing was touristy or artificial and that is exactly what we were looking for! Though yala was remarkably a great wild life park bordering Sahana... our motivation to stay at Sahana was not elephants and tigers as we were from south India, Munnar , Kerala. We really wanted to get a feel of the real village life, food and vibe with a touch of the wild and Sahana had all that. Asanga our host , chef, and guide gave us a great welcome with refreshing lime juice after a long drive from Ella. Thereafter we just entrusted everything to him and he took us around for short tour to the nearby village and ,fishing riverside bordering the park... It was great talking to him about the gemming in the river, farming and politics etc. Since it was rained in May we could not do any river activities.... and we found the place full of bird life. We spotted several species of birds including Hornbills, little green bee eaters , the giant squirrel along the riverside trees. Asanga also scared us with fun about wild elephants and wild cats peeping from nearby park into the farms around. The food was simple, tasty and very authentic....I think Asanga made the best hoppers that we tasted all over Sri Lanka! I will not do justice unless I congratulate him for the home made yoghurt! it had a unique taste! A must try! The little kitten, the calf, the dogs all added their charm and vibe there! It was a Great Experiential stay... he gave us some farm fresh organic rice as a take away gift however on our way to Kathirgama and Mirissa around Yala we lost it to the bribe elephants! It was an adventure that we keep remembering too! Thank you Asanga and we wished we could have stayed more at Sahana! May be next time!
Negative: Nothing ....
Summary: An authentic farmstead in a village hosted by Asanga ....away from the madding crowds!
