Discover Digana: Golf and Nature Trails

When looking for a hotel in Digana, activities in and around the destination can help shape your trip: golf at Victoria Golf Resort, trekking options for guests, and an overnight-stay experience at Tamarind Gardens. The offerings differ by provider and access. So consider whether golf, nature trails, or connecting over Sri Lankan cuisine are especially important to you during your stay.

Golf in Digana

The golf club at Victoria Golf Resort in Digana has an 18-hole championship course. After learning the basics, the Victoria Golf Academy offers practice on specially designed practice areas and under simulated conditions. The Academy also offers golf lessons and training camps with professional golf coaches for players of all skill levels.

The offerings thus include the course as well as practice, lessons, and training camps. If you plan to use the practice areas, take lessons, or attend a training camp, check the arrangements with the resort; you should also confirm the current availability of practice options with the operator. This will help you ask specifically about the golf offering that matters to your trip planning.

Trekking and Nature Trails

Victoria Nature Treks are trekking excursions offered by the resort for guests interested in nature and outdoor activities. For information about guided tours, the resort directs guests to the reception desk.

The two named trails have different features. The Mahaweli Trail runs along an arm of the Mahaweli River at the Victoria Reservoir. The Araliya Trail is three kilometers long and follows the edge of the golf course into secondary forest. It leads to a clearing with a viewpoint called “Aralia Deck.” The Araliya Trail is offered as an excursion for resort guests. When comparing the trails, the Mahaweli Trail focuses on the river arm, while the Araliya Trail highlights its stated length, forest section, and viewpoint. If you plan to take the Araliya Trail, check the arrangements with the resort.

Another hiking option close to the destination is Pettigala, about a two-kilometer walk from Babaragala. The approximate distance refers to the route between these two places and gives you a specific point of reference for planning an excursion.

An Experience for Overnight Guests

At Tamarind Gardens, the “Live Like a Local” experience combines connecting with local people in Digana and cooking Sri Lankan dishes with fresh ingredients. The experience is for overnight guests at Tamarind Gardens; its availability may depend on the accommodation operator. If connecting with locals or cooking together is important to you, check directly with the operator whether the experience is available during your planned stay.

For each offering, check the arrangements with the relevant resort or operator.
