Traducción I was made to feel very welcome by Upeksha. She cooked us some delicious meals, showed us round the facilities and told us what we could do in our spare time. Unfortunately, due to a problem with my visa, I had to leave a little earlier than planned, but I would have been more than happy to stay longer.

Absolutely lovely experience!! Upeksha and Anoj are a lovely couple who really went of their way to make sure I was comfortable, fed and looked after. They also gave me a helpful list of activities I could partake in around the extremely rural area. My girlfriend was at a different volunteer position and had to leave, but Upeksha and Anoj did their best to arrange transport for her and let her stay there the rest of the week. Upeksha was always checking we had everything we needed and made us three meals a day, as well as ensuring our safety whilst we were out!

Anoj and Upeksha are welcoming, kind and caring hosts. They communicated beforehand that there was not much work. But they give a lot of options on what to do in your free time. We loved the Pekoe trail. Upeksha helped with the right instructions, which I really appreciate. The food was wonderful and the kittens were so cute! Thank you for the stay.

I had the most amazing 5 day stay. It rained most of the time so there wasn't much work to do outside. I mainly helped with jobs around the house and with cooking. Anoj and Upeksha welcomed me in like family. They look us out when able to the tea factory tour, the temple and the Pekoe trail which I loved. There was plenty of down time which was so nice to rest and reset amongst nature and the Sri Lankan culture. I have learnt so much and would highly recommend everyone to come here.

I had the best time staying in Upeshka's and Anoj's home, from the moment I arrived I was welcomed in and felt very comfortable there. There is not much work required of you, but you get to fully immerse yourself in the beautiful nature that surrounds there home. Upeshka was so kind and knew so much about the area, it was very interesting learning from her. She also took us to a tea factory, waterfall and a Buddhist temple which was a highlight of my stay. To anyone considering this experience I highly reccomend!!
