The moment you enter the galapitarocks garden through the rustic door you are filled with a sense of return to nature.  At the core of the garden is Rathri Weva where Eagles come to fish and Peacocks come to nest at night.

This vibrant forest is home to exotic birds and rare “flying squirrels” that play in the forest canopy from dusk to dawn.

Garden Safari

You need not travel too far to encounter wild life at Galapita. Take a walk along the winding paths, encountering dozens of bird spices and flying squrrles, ideally at dawn or dusk.

Swimming

Manik Ganga with its cascading pools itself is your Hydrotherapy spa.  The rock pool under the bridge teeming with fish is your swimming pool. YourJacuzzis is under the waterfall.  Below the pool are calm tree shaded bathing pools and the beach.

Panning
At Galapita sustainability is a priority.  Our staff will be glad to show you ecologically friendly methods of artisanal panning river sand for gem rocks.  If you get lucky any gems you find are yours to keep.  Manik Ganga is a well known source of Royal Blue Sapphires.

Tubing

Depending on the season and the mood of the river, your tube ride down the river could be a gentle one or a hardcore adventure.  Each twist and turn in the river will bring you to and even more spectacular site that the last.

Canoeing

A moonlit night! Drifting in a boat while a cool breeze sweeping across the lake!  The moon and the stars reflected on Rathri Weva( night lake)…Enough said!
