Vedda spirits of the forest
Half day
USD 80/- (For a min.. 2 pax)
Sri Lanka's indigenous inhabitants, the Veddas ('forest-dwellers') preserve a direct line of descent from the island's original Neolithic community dating from at least 16,000 BC. With the impending extinction of the Wanniya-laeto culture, we stand to lose a rich body of indigenous lore and living ecological wisdom.
Tripfusion invites the Chief of Sri Lanka’s indigenous Vedda tribe to take you on a walk through the jungles of his ancestors. Enjoy nature as he brings the forest alive by explaining his tribes uses of medicinal plants, ancient hunting grounds, cave dwellings, and insight into how the hunter-gathers lived in the jungles of Gal Oya. Tripfusion and Gal Oya donate proceeds from this tour into a fund to support the local tribe in an ethical and community needs based manner.
