What is “Veddha” community ?

Veddha also often spelled as Vedda, in simple terms are Sri Lanka’s Aboriginals – that island’s inhabitants prior to the 6th Century BCE. They are the minority indigenous community. At the moment, just around 2,000 Veddhas remain, maybe as few as two hundred of whom still live their ancient lifestyle; the island’s oldest human civilization is fading away, with far too many Veddhas relegated to putting on a show for interested tourists.

 

Mahiyanganaya, Dambana is the infamous habitat of the Veddha community in Sri Lanka. Its
significant in many ways even for fellow locals as it feels like a walk back to centuries like time travel.

 

The Itinerary

The itinerary focuses on indulgence with nature by giving a taste of how our aboriginal
communities lived in harmony. The Hunter Gatherer taste of life, the animistic beliefs, all in one itinerary. The Veddha Village Tour with Ceylon Hikka Tours is also a one-of-a-kind
experience that may be incorporated in a tailor-made trip for individuals who want to engage deeply with Sri Lanka’s history, culture, and people. This tour provides an opportunity to receive an unparalleled glimpse into this intriguing vanishing community, which has persisted for many years but is now on the verge of extinction.

From many travellers who already took the Veddha Village Tour with team Blue Lanka Tours
made remarks of it being “ like being transported back in time – truly intriguing”. And in same words, but elaborated, this itinerary is a glimpse of how you may be a part of an experience of a lifetime.
