Ulpotha is a rare antidote to modern life.

Nestled in a sustainable organic farm in an

ancient pilgrimage site on the western fringes

of Sri Lanka, the relaxed natural environment

and homegrown cuisine heightens the benefits

of the panchakarma detox, oleation and yogic

programmes. With accommodation in mud-

style huts, no electricity, hot water or doors,

Ulpotha is not for everyone, but those seeking

peace and spiritual renewal tend to become

hooked. Dr Srilal, the resident physician designs

guests’ personalised detoxification plans and all

treatments are done in accordance with ancient

traditional Ayurveda therapeutics.
