Allure offers some of the most exciting and professional guided tours for these wildlife reserves in the southern province of Sri Lanka.
Depending on the interest of our guests, our experienced staff will tailor make a program which would be suitable for each and every visitor's personal preference. It could be a specialized visit to watch the elusive leopard, or the rare sighting of tuskers or any other mammal, birding tours or whale watching tours. On special request, we could arrange diving tours to observe coral and under-water sea life at "Great Basses" and "Small Basses"; the two famous off-shore lighthouses built to guide vessels on their shipping lanes. We offer experienced wildlife naturalists and the most sought after jeep drivers as well as experienced wildlife rangers during our guided tours to the wildlife reserves. It could be a morning or an evening drive or a full day's safari to the national parks. A stupendous breakfast or a delicious evening snack will be served on short visits. On a day trip, apart from the aforesaid breakfast and the snacks a freshly cooked lunch will be served inside the national reserves, where our guest will also have the opportunity of sitting by the great indian ocean or to enjoy the serenity of the "Manik Ganga" (river) that runs through Yala Block-1. There are other very special locations in the rest of the segments of the Yala reserve, Bundala and Udawalawe.

Ella Day Tour
Experience
In and around Allure are historically and archaeologically designated sites that are protected. Some are ancient temples, man-made lakes and places of cultural importance to Sri Lanka.
Tissa Chaithya and Kirinda Chaithya (Buddhist temples of cultural importance and history) are two places a visitor who is keen to learn different cultures and of archeological importance should visit.
Sithulpawwa Rajamaha Viharaya is an ancient temple which shares its borders with the Yala National Reserve Block-1. In the recent past there have been many disputes between the concerned parties as wild animals constantly visit the premises of this ancient Buddhist establishment and at most times they are being fed by humans, which has resulted in differences of opinion between animal rights activists and other authorities. However, this temple situated right in the heart of the Yala reserve is a place that all guests must make a visit.
The Katharagama Temple is a Hindu temple which is situated 30 minutes away from Allure Yala; and is one of the most visited temples in Sri Lanka. Buddhist as well as Hindu devotees make frequent visits to this religious site from all around Sri Lanka and is considered a miraculous place of worship.

Virgin Beaches
Experience
Allure is one place where we could make arrangements for our guests to visit a village where actual day-to-day lifestyles of villagers could be experienced. Also our valued guests could purchase some of the merchandise that villagers produce. If interested they could also experience local cuisine prepared by villagers. All proceedings generated by this visit will be directed to the villagers and such funds will most certainly be used to uplift their living conditions.

The front boundary of Allure is the great "Yoda Wewa" (lake), abundant in fish where our guests have the opportunity of casting a rod into the deep waters to net a catch for their own meal. This is an experience that we offer you as our valued guest, and we consider it a privilege to be housed by the side of this large lake. You could also join the local fishermen who gather beside Allure to net fish for their own consumption, where in some instances these local fishermen use the long-line net or they cast a net to a designated area to pull-in the fish trapped by the net. All these nets allow smaller fish to swim through to ensure that over-gathering of fish does not occur. The rocks placed in-front of Allure to prevent erosion is also an ideal nursery where schools of small fish gather and grow before they swim to the deeper waters.
