About this experience

Sembuwatta Lake is a man-made lake at Elkaduwa in the Matale District of Sri Lanka. It lies next to the Campbell's Lane Forest Reserve.

The lake was formed from natural spring water and is thought to be between 9 m and 12 m deep. Alongside it is a natural swimming pool.

The water is not just for show. The lake belongs to the Elkaduwa Plantations, and it produces electricity for the villages nearby.

Admission is sold together with a guide: an English-speaking local guide comes with your ticket and shows you around the lake and its surroundings. Book through Lakpura and the ticket is arranged before you set out.
