Discover the ultimate glamping in Sri Lanka experience at Wild Glamping Gal Oya, where the untamed wilderness meets luxurious comfort. Nestled on the banks of the Gal Oya River and surrounded by lush forest canopy, our camp offers a curated selection of immersive activities designed to connect you with nature and local culture—all without sacrificing an ounce of style.
- River Safari & Wildlife Spotting
Step aboard our traditional country boat for a sunrise or sunset safari along the Gal Oya River. Glide past ancient forest fringes and tranquil lagoons as you look out for elephants bathing at the water’s edge, playful macaques swinging overhead, and water birds dotting the banks. Our experienced guides know the best spots to glimpse endemic species and will share fascinating insights into the local ecosystem. - Birdwatching & Nature Trails
Gal Oya is a birder’s paradise, home to over 200 species of birds. Join our expert naturalists on early-morning walks through forest trails to spot vibrant kingfishers, sunbirds, and rare endemic songbirds. Each trail is carefully chosen to maximize sightings, and binoculars are provided so you won’t miss a single feathered resident. - Indigenous Village Visits
Experience authentic village life with visits to neighboring communities. Learn traditional basket weaving, taste homemade jaggery from palm sap, or join in a village cooking demonstration. These heartfelt cultural exchanges foster genuine connections and provide a deeper appreciation for Sri Lanka’s rich heritage. - Kayaking & Stand-Up Paddleboarding
For active adventurers, we offer kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding on the calm river waters. Launch from our private wooden jetty at dawn, glide silently under the canopy, and watch wildlife stir to life. These self-guided water activities give you the freedom to explore at your own pace. - Stargazing & Campfire Evenings
As dusk falls, the skies above Gal Oya light up with an embarrassment of celestial riches. Enjoy a guided stargazing session with our astronomy enthusiast, who’ll point out constellations, planets, and shooting stars. Afterwards, gather around the campfire to share stories, toast marshmallows, and sip on locally brewed toddy. - Ayurvedic Spa & Wellness
Indulge in a riverside spa pavilion offering traditional Ayurvedic treatments. Choose from deep tissue massages, rejuvenating oil therapies, and herbal steam baths—all performed by skilled therapists using locally sourced oils and herbs. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploration. - Private Dining Under the Canopy
Savour a gourmet meal beneath towering trees with our signature Private Dining experience. Our chef crafts a seasonal menu using fresh produce and wild-foraged ingredients. Whether it’s a romantic candlelit dinner or a festive group banquet, this al fresco setting creates memories that last a lifetime. - Photography Workshops
