The hosts are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. The experience is an opportunity to dive into the local culture and learn about Sri Lanka in a way you wouldn't from a paid tour or hotel stay. The hosts are working hard to develop their home which is beautiful and in the middle of Sri Lankan jungle. I could not recommend this experience enough if you enter with an open mind and willingness to learn.

I've had an incredible time staying at Anoj's place. Thank you so much to you and your family for welcoming me into your home. I feel fortunate to have been part of your daily life these past few days. Being surrounded by nature was a gift in itself. The leeches reminded me of home, back in Vietnam! And cockroaches, or one might say, the eternal tenants of the Earth! The village was a joy to explore. Everyone I met, whether on the street or during a ride on the local bus, greeted me with smiles. There's more to discover here than you might expect at first glance, only if you're open to it.

If you like nature and hiking, this is the place for you! I went to see some waterfalls, hiked some stages of the Pekoe trail and even did a day trip to Adams Peak! When I was there, there was no work to do (I suspect they don't really have work for the volunteers in general). We joined Upeksha on Sunday to help her teach English to local school children which was very cute. Otherwise you can just chill and relax here as well, it's a really quiet and peaceful place. Upeksha is such a lovely and caring woman, she really helped us with everything. Also the food they serve is extremly delicious.

I'm grateful for the chance to experience authentic life in the village. Upeksha and Anoj are really kind and helpful people and I got much advice about what to do in the area. Unfortunately it was the monsoon season and heavy raining all the time. It was challenging but I still managed to enjoy the stay by slowing down and spending time alone in wild. I wouldn't call it volunteering tho, since there wasn't work to be done, more like homestay.

This was my first Worldpackers location ever, and I had the best time! Upeksha and Anoj are super welcoming and warm people. They are incredibly sweet and oh my god, they can cook so well! I'm already missing the food 🥲 Even though the weather wasn't perfect, I learned so much about their lives and Sri Lankan culture. On my last day, we even went on a road trip to their local monastery and tea factory, which was so interesting and fun. It truly felt like having parents for a few days. Thank you so much for everything! ❤️
