    We really enjoyed the tree house, perfect place to visit Pidurangale rock, and todo a Lori tour at night.

    Perfect location for visiting Pidurangala Rock. You can walk to the trail-head in 5 minutes. But be careful in the morning. It is advised to use a Tucktuck because of the elephants in the area. In the evening we were fine though. The room was...

    Special location in the forest with monkeys and other animals around. Good and inexpensive meals. Close to all Sigiriya sights. Fantastic lori walk.

    Beautiful tree house. Nice and comfortable beds. A cool experience to sleep with no walls. The musquitonets were very good. I did not worry about animals or mosquitos getting in our beds. Service was great.

    The treehouse is very special. You are just surrounded by nature. The mosquitonet is very comfortable and gives you the feeling of laying in a cocoon in the middle of the jungle!
