Heeloya is a protected historic Kandyan region and one of the last remaining traditional nativities in Sri Lanka. This tranquil village is distinctively situated on the foothill of the spectacular Knuckles range and surrounded by dense montane cloud forests.

Heeloya village consists of characteristic, inherent, and sustainable livelihoods such as Paddy farming, Beekeeping, Toddy tapping, Spice growing, and Handicrafts, and the rustic lifestyle is yet unchanged.

Visitors may embrace activities like roaming in backyards, visiting temples, trekking in the woods, bathing in waterfalls, and tasting local cuisines, and this enchanted Knuckles-based Heeloya rural pictorial expedition will stretch beyond the picturesque Galmal Oya crystal creek shore.
