Birth Of Ella Jungle Resort
The
Chairman of wild Holidays which runs Ella Jungle Resort. Vijith Welikala talking Sri Lanka the Treasure Island explained the motives and
background of the birth of this magnificent spot.
“we
are not hoteliers really, but this came through our passion about the nature
and jungle. We sell silence here. You can’t explain it because silence cannot
speak. Silence cannot be communicated
with words since it’s beyond the mind.
This silence creates a fiction in your mind. Your mind will get lost and it will get a break
to be away from your workload at office and problems that you go through
everyday.”
“Today
people are quite mechanical and glued to modern technology where they have no
space to enjoy the nature and its beauty.
So we give them an opportunity to have wonderful time with this natural
environment.”
Transform Yourself
According
to him , this resort is a place for a transformation. “ This is a kind of a
scientific temple. You can have a
vegetarian meal and listen to some classical music and meditate as well. The target groups vary for this resort
depending on different factors. In the
local market, the main group is corporate institutions and when it comes to the
international level. We basically expect
tourists those who travel from country to country looking for the real meaning
of life. Most probably this market is
extremely rich in every aspect like, Money, power, education etc. they just
want to enjoy the peaceful averment of the
nature which they cannot buy at any price.
They call it spiritual travel, it’s not pilgrimage though.
“This
is the only holiday resort on Sri Lanka which has been totally set in a
tropical rainforest to provide the tourists with a brand new experience. To get to the resort, you have to walk along
a path close to a water stream. Once you are in the resort, no doubt, you
will feel that you are really in a jungle.
The specialty here is . we offer visitors a set of adventure games such
as mountain biking and canoeing during your stay. These activities will keep you enthusiastic

possible. Some of our staff members have
their plantations and we directly buy their harvest and give the tourists a
really fresh meal” said Welikala.

capacities.

programme has been designed for three days and within this period every person changers a lot. We remove all the designation labels before
we start this programme. So there are no
CEOs.Managers. executives or clerks.
Everybody is in the same boat and
has to work as a team for family. We
have highly talented trainers here who have gone through extensive trainings
and are capable of impossibly difficult tasks.
They train the participants quite well and they , being a team set a
