Depart Galle for Buttala. Arrive at Galapita Healing Garden which is one of those rare and magical places built atop a magnificent rock that soars like a huge bathing elephant out of the water of the Menik Ganga (Gem River). There are four ecological pavilions each built using local materials such as stone, wood, mud and thatched roofs. All reflect a contemporary interpretation of traditional Sri Lankan style. Galapita provides you with a unique experience in Sri Lanka. Spend your days having a massage, reading, panning for gems, swimming in the river, eating superb curries, canoeing, taking a picnic to the magnificent herb garden, enjoy a day out at the 50ft tall cascading pigeon falls, swing in your hammock by the river or just bliss out!
