Family Trip to Sembuwatte Lake

Sambuwatta Lake is a beautiful man-made reservoir located in Elkaduwa, Matale. The lake is bordered by Cambell’s Land forest reserve and situated at an elevation of 1,140 m. The misty and chilly atmosphere with pine trees and tea-covered slopes surrounding the lake make visitors feel relaxed and tranquil.

What puts the lake at the top as a leisure and family travel destination is the plethora of adventure activities available such as zip-lining, swan/motorboat riding, canoeing and hiking. Bathing and swimming in the lake, however, is not allowed since the lake is fairly deep (30 – 40 ft), there is a separate pool built for that purpose.

Camping at Kelebokka 360 view point….

Kelebokka 360 view point and Sembuwatta lake are two common tourist attractions. We have camped at Kelebokka and trekked to Sembuwatta.

Hiking Shaheen Mountain (1043M)

The Shaheen Mountain is located near the hotel. It’s a 2 Km Hike from the Hotel and provides an Ella rock hike like experience and view from the peak. On the way we can visit the Upper Hunnas waterfall too. The mountain was named as Shaheen mountain by the hotel as it is one of the nesting site of the Shaheen Falcon.
