Seedevi Ratwatte
It is an ancestral property where only the kandyan aristocratic families lived. I am the third generation. it has lot of history behind. It is the only Walawwe built on top of a hill with a fantastic view.
I am in the hospitality industry. So, my main idea is to give a personalized service to the guests.
River bathing is quite popular. We have a waterfall close by where you could swim and also there is a restaurant and a bar as well. We offer experiences to the guests who stay at Galkanda at a special rate. 1. Eco farm - Bio gas , organic vegetables, Yogurt, cheese, butter preperation 2. Pottery demonstration. Clay pots being made 3. Wieving mats 4. Bicycle tours 5.Water fall and hike
