Looking for something off the beaten track?
Through Duara you can experience real Sri Lankan village lifestyle in Alagollewa’s a small farming community.
Duara Travels is more than just accommodation:
- You stay with a local family
- Cook and eat with them
- Take part in the villagers’ daily activities.
Your stay benefits the host family and village directly, as part of the payment goes to a local community organization.
There are several host families who can usually host two travelers or one family.
