INTRODUCTION
Renowned Splendour
With a love for the wild dating as far back as the mid-80’s, The Backwaters has brought to life the idea of making Wilpattu something accessible to everyone. Years of knowledge about the wild, fused with minimalistic modern comforts and eco-friendly practices give you an experience of the jungle – like no other and found nowhere else in Sri Lanka. The Backwaters offers an original, unique and undisturbed experience of the wild, filled with adventure.
