Pilgrims Retreat

Located in Uluppuni, Pilgrims Retreat is a host-run homestay that provides a personal, intimate experience to visitors. The hosts work with the local community to make sure each visitor feels safe and comfortable. In fact, they intentionally take efforts in employing, training, and enabling local village women to get financially independent. For now, they have a food processing unit with the women from their community that sell fruit preserves, jams, pickles, and honey sourced from the local communities. Another interesting aspect of the place is that there are no mobile networks or televisions, and Wifi is available only on a need basis. The aim is to ensure an immersive environment where guests explore nature and their surroundings closely without any distractions.

There are a few scenic movie locations nearby, private waterfalls, and a tunnel. The hosts even organize customized hikes and treks, outbound training for corporates, and adventure camps for teenagers and young adults.
