About us

Deep on the woods, a dream now breathes, Where time stands still and memory weaves, In every breeze, our story flows, In every heart, the child still grows..

World War II era Prisoner of War Camp, located atop a hill near Delawadi. The camp was set up by the British in1939-40 to house around 30,000 German and Italian prisoners of war.

Built by the Inspector General of Police at the time, FS Young, all that remains   today are crumbling relics of barracks, stables, a water tank, and a few housing quarters. Nature has reclaimed this once busy township with tall wild grass stretching across the hilltop and poking out through the brick  structures. Surrounded by a sharp drop and the forested hills of Ratapani, the British-era campsite is in a formidable location.
