location: home / activities / abseiling & caving   
 

 
 

Granite rock, some a few hundred feet high are the perfect setting for an abseil. Intricate cave systems, mostly ruins of a bygone era add to the excitement. A few natural caves and rock faces are used for this sport with all state-of-the-art safety equipment provided. A perfect way to venture into the vertical world if you have not done it before.




The Waturagoda caves

 
 
Stumbled upon by chance, are these unique cave systems created by nature but used by man some 800 years and beyond. To explore these cave one has to first climb a combinations of boulders then abseil down, with a bit of technicality involved, into the main cave itself. Here a gushing stream appears from nowhere to form a natural pool, an absolutely splendid place for a swim. It is said through folktale that the king used to bathe here, but not debatable is the fact that the waters contain high herb and mineral content.

You follow the stream down, then climb up out of the cave. Helmets, headlight torches, abseiling equipment and guides are provided by the hotel. Be prepared to get wet, and inform the management in advance for a visit, as these caves are exclusive to the hotel guests only.
