Daily schedule

- 08:00 Energetic Vinyasa flow Yoga
- 09:15 Family-style social breakfast where guests can get to know each other and make plans for the day
- After breakfast, there is space and time to do any activities you like. Because many guests are solo travelers, they tend to explore the south coast together
- 16:30 Relaxing Yin yoga class
- Following the Yin yoga class, guests shower and head out for our social dinner or their own evening plans. Every day is a different restaurant or activity for the evening.
The rest of the day is yours to explore what Weligama and the South Coast have to offer. Basecamp is located on one of the best beaches for surfing (beginners and advanced) so you can take a lesson, catch some waves, or relax on the beach. They also offer optional day trips like snorkeling, a wildlife safari, a tea plantation tour, and many others.

How to get there
Recommended Airports
Bandaranaike International Airport

Transfer not provided
Arrival by airplane
Please book your ticket to arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB). Basecamp offers an airport pick-up for 85 euros. It takes about 2 hours from the airport. Please let Basecamp know your flight info to arrange airport pickup.
Arrival by bus
If you decide to take the bus, you can take the highway bus to Matara or Galle. The highway bus only goes a few times a day, you can check the schedule online but is not always reliable. From Matara or Galle to Basecamp, you can take a local bus or tuk-tuk.
This will take around 4 hours in total. If there is no highway bus at the airport you can take the bus to Colombo first and try to get on the highway bus from there. These buses go every hour. It will take you an hour longer than the first option. The last bus option is to take a local (express) bus all the way but since that takes about 6 hours we don’t recommend doing so.
Arrival by train
You have to take a bus/tuk-tuk/taxi to Colombo Fort first. The train goes 4 or 5 times a day so please check the schedule before online (check it at the government website, that’s reliable www.railway.gov.lk). From Weligama train station you can take a tuk-tuk to Basecamp. If your bus and train are connecting it will take around 4.5 hours.
Cancellation Policy
- A reservation requires a deposit of 50% of the total price.
- The deposit is non-refundable, if the booking is cancelled.
- The rest of the payment should be paid on arrival.
