Authentic, and beyond cool.
Ulpotha is a traditional agricultural community in the jungle heartland of Sri Lanka, offering guests world class yoga in an incomparably beautiful setting as close to nature as is humanly possible.
“Ulpotha is talked about in revered tones as one of the most extraordinary yoga destinations in the world” – The Guardian
Though we were compelled to cancel both our 2020 summer retreat programme as well as our 2020/2021 winter schedule due to Sri Lanka’s cautious approach to dealing with Covid-19, we remain optimistic that we will be able to proceed with the 2021 summer season as planned.
The opening of the island’s airports are scheduled for the last week of 2020 and guidelines for visitors are currently being finalised. No sooner they are, we will inform you by posting a link here with all the relevant information. We advise you to read your country’s travel advisory as well.
Daily updates of the situation in Sri Lanka can be found here.
Until borders are opened and whatever Covid-19 protocols imposed by authorities are in place to allow our usual retreat programme to recommence, Ulpotha will be open to holiday visitors living on the island in groups of six or more.
