Out in Rathugala, a remote village on the edge of Gal Oya National Park, you'll find one of Sri Lanka's more unusual places to lay your head. This is home to the Vedda community, the island's indigenous forest dwellers, and Wild Glamping Gal Oya has been built in genuine partnership with them: the tented lodges and public areas were constructed by local hands from eco-friendly, locally sourced materials, spread across a 30-acre organic farm ringed by savannah, medicinal forest and misty mountains. Rustic it may look, but your tent comes with a private bathroom, a proper bed and solar lighting.
