For our second week in Sri Lanka it was the perfect place! We were welcomed really warmly and felt comfortable from the begging till the end. We explored the really green and beautiful environment, we experienced the culture and had a really nice time with Upekscha and the others. We really would come again and will remember the time really good!

Anoj and Upeksha truly made us feel like part of their family. They welcomed us into their home and introduced us to traditional Sri Lankan food, customs, and everyday life. We're genuinely grateful for their kindness. I would highly recommend this project to anyone.

Unique and unrepeatable experience. Upeksha Anoj thank you very much for opening the doors of your home and making us feel comfortable every day. What can you expect from the program? Live a few days surrounded by mountains and nature where you can disconnect from the hustle and bustle.Learn more about the local culture share with a lovely family and get to know beautiful waterfalls and landscapes. We want to make a mention to the animals of the house a beautiful puppy named Rexy and two kittens Vindú and Fionna we will miss them and once again we thank every moment.

I can wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the home. It is the perfect place to get an authentic impression of Sri Lankan culture, try delicious local food, see beautiful places and relax in a rural setting to recharge your batteries. My highlight was the hosts, who are some of the most helpful and hospitable people I know. They always tried their best to make my stay as pleasant as possible. The lovely pets made the stay truly perfect. I am very grateful for the wonderful time I had!

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! ❤️

I had the best week at Anoj's and Upeksha's wonderful home! They made me feel so welcome and took me along to all their daily tasks and outings (which was really great to see a true local side of Sri Lanka). They also put in so much effort to show us the local highlights, like the tea factory, waterfalls and temples. The food Upeksha and her family prepared was heavenly and it was so peaceful and relaxing! Because of the weather and season there wasn't much to do in the garden but I went along to help with some of Upeksha's english lessons which was such a nice experience, 100% recommend!
