Galkadawala is set amidst an ancient agricultural hydraulic irrigation
system which consist of many lakes, waterways, paddy fields and forests. Hence we are very fortunate to have an abundance fauna at our very doorstep.

Both have travelled extensively covering the five Continents visiting over 50 countries between them. Like us, they are passionate to share the ‘bounty of our motherland’ … the wilderness … heritage … heavenly cuisine and the unique Sri Lankan culture with our visitors.

Nature Art with Lester
Lester Perera is a well known birder internationally and a passionate nature artist as seen at www.natbound.lk. https://www.facebook.com/lester.perera.33 . Hence he does not need an introduction to the 'birding fraternity' or the 'art loving community' of Sri Lanka ... all love him.
Galkadawala is Lester’s much loved getaway in Sri Lanka. He enjoys conducting nature art and birding retreats here. This program can be amalgamated with our yoga retreat too.
For the discerning, it will be a unique experience indeed to connect with Lester and find one's own creativity.
