Back of Beyond - Pidurangala

Location - amazing, in the middle of the jungle. Keep in mind that it's quite far from the city, however very close to good viewpoints of Sigiriya rock. Staff- extremely nice and helpful. Food - you don't have to go to the city for food, you can order something at the place. Everything was delicious. Price - reasonable for what you get. Houses - very comfortable, nice and clean. It was an unbelievable experience, which we expected and were looking forward to, however remember that you're in the jungle and tree house is quite exposed, you might expect bugs or monkeys to come into the house. You have to keep your things in the drawers and if you're extremely afraid of being in the forest at night, this might not be a place for you.

A beautiful tree house in the rainforest. It was a great escape from reality. Close tuk tuk ride into Sigiriya town and walking distance to Pidurangala. One of the hotel staff was lovely enough to take us to Lions rock via tuk tuk at 04:45am for sunrise hike. He then came back a few hours later to collect us. We had dinner at the hotel which was nice, they even made me a meal specifically gluten free after I showed my allergen card earlier in the day which I really appreciated. The tree house was amazing and definitely recommend this place as it is a fantastic experience.

Amazing jungle location - I walked in the adjoining jungle and found wild elephant dung within 100m, so be cautious about walking in the jungle at dusk (and definitely not at night). Great bird life and peace, a nice walk through some jungle to a nearby temple, and then a short way on the road to the famous Pidurangala rock. The staff, under the exceptional Dhammika, are all professional, friendly and knowledeable. I missed the opportunity to stay in a tree-house, which would have been an even more unforgetable experience. Only had breakfast, which was a pity, since the food was very good. Thank you very much for a great stay. Look forward to visiting again.

The tree house accommodation blends in very well with the jungle, is open to the elements and very cool. Really nice to be so close to the elements, yet protected. High off the ground, solid waterproof roof, great bug nets. Slept really well listening to the rain and sounds of the forest. Nice breakfast, nicer staff, really kind and friendly

Staying in the tree house was fantastic, one of the best experiences. Loved the jungle and feeling part of it. The staff was super helpful and made us feel very welcome, they offer so many unique activities (with fair prices). We never thought we would end seeing Loris! 🤩 Food was also fantastic, we wanted to eat Sri Lankan food and they offered us something different every day, always tasty. They accommodated my gluten-issues perfectly too. ah! and they even helped us sort out transport! We couldn't ask for more. I keep this place well saved.
