Are you eating fruits? Keep the seeds and help them germinate at home!
Do not wait another day. You can actively and distinctively participate in growing our Sri Lankan forest cover and its biodiversity by supporting the germination of every seed of every fruit you consume and nurture them until they are ready to be planted in Wanakaset’s Kitulgala forest. When you do so, for every stay of one week or more at Wanakaset’s Kitulgala property, you will enjoy up to 10 Dollar discount per person for every 10 trees planted by each member of your group capped at 150 dollar per stay of one week or more.

Considering the travel restrictions and the confinement measures undertaken in Sri Lanka to reduce everyone’s exposure and most importantly those vulnerable to COVID 19, Wanakaset commits to refund all down payments made directly to Wanakaset for those whose stay cannot be legitimately consumed.
