Authentic tea homestays for wellness and yoga near Kandy
5 Answers from travellers
Look away from the noisy Kandy city center. Head up into the hills towards Hanthana or Ampitiya. Many family-run homestays there practice Ayurvedic lifestyles. While they might not have a formal Yoga Shala, the hosts will gladly prepare wellness meals like Kola Kenda (herbal porridge) and provide a quiet garden overlooking the tea mountains for your practice.
Visit the Nilambe Meditation Centre nearby if you want a hardcore silent retreat experience.
Hanthana sounds beautiful. I will search for eco-lodges in that specific area.
Bring a sweater, the mountain air is very crisp for morning yoga.
Make sure to explicitly ask the host for Ayurvedic vegetarian food when booking, otherwise they will make standard heavy curries.
