Named after the flocks of peacocks (monaras) that strut across the land, this 10 acre retreat lies on the eastern bank of the Urubokka Oya. Open scrub land typical to the southern dry zone merges with river-side vegetation. We are gradually turning parts of the high ground back into a dry zone farm, whilst foresting other parts of the land.
At Monara Thanne we have a bungalow and a cottage which can accommodate upto 11 adults and 4 children with each unit having specially designed areas for relaxation and optional sleeping. In keeping with our philosophy of minimising energy usage all our bedrooms have fans rather than air conditioning. We have provided mosquito nets for all our guests. All rooms have attached toilets with hot and cold water.
