It is 3,000 feet above sea level and enjoys an ideal climate of around 28c in the day and about 18c in the evenings, there is wildlife in abundence, particulary birdlife. We have full time resident caretakers (who have their own quarters) who will look after you like royalty and will ensure that your holiday is truly relaxing. The bungalow (Jungle Tide) is 11K from the World Heritage city of Kandy which is the historic Capital of the Kandyan Kings and has the most important bhuddist temple on the island as well as many other fantastic sights.
