Ulpotha a Yoga and Ayurveda experience in Sri Lanka


"...the entire experience is a spiritual high!" - Best Spas and Retreats of the World, Vogue Magazine

Ulpotha has been a pilgrimage site for thousands of years and remains an oasis of tranquility in the heart of Sri Lanka. It is a beautiful private hide-away open to guests for part of the year; a place of total peace, where you can experience the warm, generous and gentle hospitality which Sri Lankans love to offer.

It has great yoga teachers who run retreats there including Gingi Lee brings Ashtanga, Hatha Yoga from Claire Farman, Wil Lane and Stephen Thomas amongst others

The primary aim of Ayurveda is to balance the body’s energies and thus restore one’s health and vitality. Ulpotha is a particularly suitable place in which to undergo ayurvedic treatment, as the food and the environment complement the therapies and serve to underscore the holistic approach of AYURVEDA itself.

The Ayurveda programs at Ulpotha is comprehensive with Dr Srilal Mudunkothge heading up the various programs.

Sri Lanka Ulpotha timetable

Ulpotha has a living history over 5,000 years old and is rooted in the oldest continuously inhabited region in the island. According to legend, travelling mendicants from the foothills of the Himalayas came in search of the sacred site associated with Lord Kataragama, an incarnation of the godchild Murugan and the son of Shiva. They believed that Ulpotha was this sacred place, as its seven hills matched the description contained in ancient spiritual lore. After the head priest had a vision in which he was shown how to perform a special devotional ritual, or puja, they built a shrine dedicated to their tantric god at what is now the entrance to the village.

The mountain directly above the village was also where Prince Saliya, the son of the great and heroic King Dutugemunu, established his romantic court over two thousand years ago after he rejected royal life. He married an outcaste woman by the name of Asokamala, who is described in the 'Mahawamsa', the country's millennia-old mythological and historical epic, as a woman of peerless and legendary beauty. The prince and his gypsy bride are said to have escaped the ancient royal city of Anuradhapura through a secret tunnel that surfaced in a local cave..
