Comment From Lakdasun
Last weekend some of my friends have been to Sembuwatte and stayed the night over there. So I thought of sharing the information I got from them for someone who loves this place.
Night out stay 500 per person (have to stay in a summer hut or carry your own tent) take your own provisions and gas for cooking. Toilet facilities are available. Take blankets as it freezes at night.
Day charges 150 per person.
Swimming pool with natural water is available for use.
From Alkaduwa – Hunugala road, turn left & there are 2 KMs to the park. A Van, jeep or a vehicle with a good ground clearance will take you there comfortably. A car will struggle a lot or will not do it.
Cheers,
Amila
