They are fighting a losing battle. In one recent interview, the Chief Uruwarige Wanniyalatto said that his greatest fear was that he will not be able to stop the death of the Vedda way of life. Since their livelihood is now changed completely, they depend more and more on earning money to sustain them.

Day 1 Remote Jungle Village Tour
- Pick you up from your hotel in kandy at 6.00am
- Take away the breakfast
- Proceed to Dambana
- Dambana is the home for the Vedda community. Their present situation is even more demanding and arduous. On one hand they are fighting to keep their members from getting commercialised and on the other hand, the authorities blame them for getting commercialised and keep away from looking into their grievances.
- Arrive at DAMBANA, the remote jungle village of indigenous people that is situated about 100km from Kandy, Sri Lanka.
- The population of these indigenous 'Veddha' people now consists of only about 350 families, a number significantly reduced from a once thriving community. The 'Veddha' are so influenced by the imposing dominant culture that they risk losing their traditions and what has been their livelihood for centuries.
- Visitors to this fascinating village have the opportunity to meet and chat with the people who live there, learn about their traditions, and gain a unique insight into their way of life.
- Enjoy your lunch at a local restaurant.
- After Lunch, you will be driven back Kandy.
- Drop you off at the hotel in Kandy.
