Local Area
Wathurugama House is about 35 – 45 minutes away from famous Negombo beach.

A walk or bike down one of the many country lanes is an experience, where you get to see village traditions and lifestyle in its own place. You come across farmers working their fields, little children playing, women cleaning houses and gardens, waving children inside schools, the odd job man, boys playing cards, carom or cricket. Beetle chewing, most of them will welcome you with a ‘hi’, smile or wave.

Farming and quarrying are the main sources of income for the majority of locals. The rest take-up work in the nearby cities. A few mechanics, masons, and shopkeepers are also found along the way. Apart from tea, other export crops grown in the countryside are : rubber, coconut, paddy, spices, bananas, and pineapples. Also, a variety of fruits flourish here, thanks to the fertile and moist soil. The closeness to Colombo makes trading easy, as well as also fetching decent prices.

Everyone, or almost, has an evening bath, and will be attired in fresh clothing. With fresh picked flowers they worship the Bo tree, an image of the Buddha, or visit the temple. On a poya day, or full moon day, everyone is out, visiting the village temple.

Directions
By air to Sri Lanka, to Bandaranayake International Airport. We will then arrange for you to be met and driven to the villa, a journey of about 35 minutes.
