The locals called it “Meemure” originally due to the many mee trees found in the area. There are many ways to reach Meemure but the only way to reach Meemure is from the ‘Hunnasgiriya’ by a vehicle. The camping in Meemure is an unique experience and it helps you to get one step closer to nature.

Meemure is a quiet rural village surrounded by a mountain range (which belongs to the Knuckles mountain range) .The village is located in the Kandy District in Sri Lanka. 

The village has a long history and evidence shows it is older than 5,000 years. Meemure is a beautiful, unique village with mountains, waterfalls and paddy fields that helps to attract many visitors  to Meemure. The village covers approximately ​​700 acres and around 400 locals happily live there.
