Due to my recent trip to Bandarawela, I thought to publish some posts regarding my trip. My first post is about Adisham Bungalow also called as St. Benedicts monastery. We visited there on our way home.
To go to the bungalow is very easy, you just have to pass huputale town and railway station and then you can see the directions clearly on the boards. Road to Adisham bungalow is good but big buses can go only half way of the road also other vehicles have to drive safely because two vehicle and barely pass.disham
NOTES WE GOT FROM THE GATE:
Adisham is a stately stone mansion build in 1931 by Sir Thomas Lister Villiers, an English planter. Beautifully situated, in tranquil surrounding, Adisham is certainly a "must see" for those holiday makers and chance visitors, who haunt the hills from time to time in search of a peaceful resort, from the madding crowds and the heat of the city.
The Sturdy rock like fortress, fortress, surrounding by undulating hills, far as the eye can see, contains many items that normal visitors are unfamiliar with, which accounts for the large number of guests who seek admissions whenever the gates are open.
Carefully cultivated flower garden, Burma teak shingles that cover the roof, antique furniture and a well planted - out construction are few of the attractions that Adisham offers to sight seers.
The mansion was purchased by the Sylvestro Benedictine monks in 1961 to serve their novitiate, where those who seek to enter the monastic life are trained.
Maintenance of the monastery and those who reside here has to be met funds that are earned by the monks themselves. Hence the jam products and the produce from the farm.

Tips:
- We can access only a limited area (exactly 3 rooms), so you can get the idea about interior of the building.
- You have to remove your shoes before you enter the monastry.
- You are not allowed to take photos or video inside the monastry.
- Don't forget to visit Thangamale sanctuary near by.
