BELIHUL OYA, a
very picturesque little hamlet renowned for its Eco, Adventure tourism
opportunities, is situated in the “Sabaragamuwa” province of Sri Lanka,
approximately 160 km from Colombo. This beautiful hillside location is a
climatically transitional area, linking both the dry and wet zones and
the hill and low country at an altitude of less than 1500m. As a result,
the vegetation consists of moist semi-evergreen forests, tropical
savanna forests, dry patana grasslands and montane temperate forests,
making it one of the richest bio-diversity spots in Sri Lanka – a
perfect location for nature lovers.

an ideal base for a wide range of nature and adventure related
activities. Try anything from trekking across the Horton Plains (the
HORTON PLAINS mountain range is visible from the River Garden
