Fishing huts

When you read the title of this, You all may thought that I was going to talk about some beach or some sea side area. If so, I would  have to disappointing you all.  The place I'm going to talk about way up in the hill country near the town called "Maskeliya".

Fishing huts is a place that is way up in the hill country. It takes nearly a 1 hour from Maskeliya town to access there. The narrow road will take you along to the Maskeliya reservoir and then through a tea estate.

The journey through the tea estate is breath taking. The dirt road that curved with the mountains did only little to hide the true beauty of the surrounding mountain tops.

















The hard and 4x4 type of journey ends at the greeting hands of a small statue that greets all who come to Fishing huts.







Fishing huts is a place where one can truly become a part of nature. One can be amazed to hear that you will have no electricity and no mobile signals to this wonderful place. What even more amazing is that, you will get 3 huts entirely made of wood for your accommodation. The huts are made on a riverbed and that river is the only thing that separates the thick jungle and the huts.








The experience you get in Fishing huts is one of a kind. If you are a true nature lover or a person who wants to get away from the modern life, Fishing huts is the place for you. If the wooden houses did not made an impact to you, then the cold night and the near freezing river will surely do so.
