Excursions:

Chaaya Village has put together five interesting and adventurous excursions that guests can choose from incuding: a trek through scrub forests to the village of Hiriwadunna, which borders a reservoir where over 130 different bird species have been identified; a trek through the lush forest reserves of Namal Uyana with the largest Na tree (Sri Lanka's national tree) reserve in the South Asian region; scaling a sheer rock surface with panoramic views; exploring jungle caves and ruins of temples; a climb to the famous Rose Quartz deposits at Dambulla; and Ritigala's stone monastery. Guests can also experience village life, join a fisherman on his catamaran, ride a bullock cart and share a meal with a village family. At the end of each of the five trails, a sumptuous meal is included ranging from a picnic by the lake, on top of a mountainous summit or a seafood BBQ dinner by the poolside. Guests wanting to experience one of these excursions, which will take upto an entire day, must pre-pay and book at the time of arrival at the hotel. Beyond the village of Habrana, the entire Cultural Triangle lies in close proximity including the ancient cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla and Sigiriya. The Minneriya National Park, which is a mix of dry evergreen forest, scrub jungle and grassy plains and is dominated by the Minneriya Tank, is also located near by. Large groups of elephants, sambar deer and toque monkeys are regularly seen here, as well as plenty of bird life.
