Hi everyone,

We are Remon and Freya who run a beautiful eco lodge around 40 mins east of Kandy in Sri Lanka with a strong focus on community and nature.

Polwaththa Eco Lodges, Eko Land Produce and the Forest Healing Foundation are located in a Kandyan Forest Garden and centered on conservation and uplifting the community while promoting a more sustainable tourism and spice trade. The richness of these Kandyan Forests not only provides a diverse range of fruits and spices but also a haven for birdwatchers, yogis and anyone that loves being in nature. Within the Eco Lodge we host 4 day Yoga retreats as well as have other tourists who come for hiking, birdwatching, drop in Yoga classes, traditional cooking classes and much more.
