  • To find a doctor who lives in the remote village – Galaboda

We got to know about this Ayurveda doctor from a person who lives in the same village and decided to visit. I think of providing these details so that it may benefit at least one of you some day.

We left Colombo around 4AM and reached Matale by 8AM. Had breakfast there and came to Andawala by 10AM.

From there we turned to Senagama Road. It had rained a little and greenery was very much beautiful.

We were not able to picture the doctor who is actually a lady and she treats anyone who visits her and any illness. It is the hereditary treatments and she does not charge money in anyway. But we had gifted some with the sheaf of betel. After spending few hours in the village, we started returning back home.
