Yala Beddegama Eco, hotel in Kataragama

Nestled within lush tropical greenery, Beddegama Ecopark offers tranquil and comfortable accommodation with free Wi-Fi access in its public areas.

Everything!! It was an AMAZING experience. Sleeping almost outside in the middle of the nature is something that everyone should try at least once in a lifetime. We stayed in a tree house, which was very clean for an open space, with nets for keeping monkeys out, very clean bed sheets and towels (not so often in Sri Lanka), excellent food and very good prices for a remote location (full of nature and animals around you). The staff was amazingly warm and helpful with everything. I recommend this place 10000%. For sure will come back here if we will visit Yala again. Not a location for 5 stars hotel kinda people, otherwise you will love it. Also, we liked that they improved their game, now you can find toiletries and better food (we loved it) so they really take into account the feedback received. Make sure you understand that this is a safari area so going out of the premises by yourself can be dangerous, so book your lunch and dinner with them as little options are available in the area (we had a car and it was pretty difficult to find a decent lunch place around in the arrival day) -- they will ask you at arrival so you don't need to hustle before. They offer safari at a good price, also.

Jungle river humbhaha hostel, hotel in Kataragama

Situated in Kataragama, within 18 km of Situlpawwa and 20 km of Tissa Wewa, Jungle river humbhaha hostel features accommodation with a garden and as well as free private parking for guests who drive.

The location was beautiful as it’s in the heart of the jungle. There is lots of wildlife and they have very cute puppies which Mira takes wonderful care of. The young man working there was also very nice and helpful. The room we were moved to was wonderful and quite comfortable and private. The next morning they helped arrange a taxi for us which was great as we had a long journey.

    I thought it was a different place to go for Safari.

    I thought it was a different place to go for Safari. But, almost all vehicles come from Tissa for Safari pickup so it doesn't really matter if you book a room in Tissa or Katharagama for the Safari.

    Even though it is a religious hub that connects all the religions to a one place, I enjoyed the YALA Safari very much. Spotted all most all the animals from water birds to hundreds of peacocks, from mongoose to leopard and elephants.

    Could not see Perahara, we could not stay after 11.30pm.

    Could not see Perahara, we could not stay after 11.30pm. If our Hotel room was close Temple we would have come in time of Perahera. Could not enjoyed the journey, very disappointing since the Room was 2Km away from Kataragama Town and temple , no access to outside choice food , had to starve until we reached KataragamaTown. Food and items were sold at uncontrollerable price. For example-Perera and Sons - selling prices below Fish rolls- 150 Fried Rice - 750/- quantity very less than side plate and a small drum stick piece chicken with least flesh. Nestea - Rs 120/= Lunch - Rs 520/= very very small quantity. All bills are available with me as proof if necessary. Surprisingly to know a very reputed food caterers such as PERERA And Sons exploiting selling least quantity food at exorbitant prices compared to Colombo prices to Temple Pilgrims visitors, striving to exist due to economic crisis with no though and concerned to the Poor and needy. At a Pilgrimage area, such as Kataragama, the business rich, could have treated the mo have visitors in a compromise way, selling at reasonably low price or served as Dansal. Their were visitor sharing an incompletely served fried rice plate some were begging at the entrance. This is the way GOD FEARING PEOPLE behave in business concerns at Festival period . GOVMT need to do something valuable to address the needs of the Pilgrim visitors comming from all ends of the country Sri Lanka. Could not fulfill the needs we went to Kataragama due exorbitant accommodation and food price.

    Kataragama temple in Kataragama, Sri Lanka, is a temple...

    Kataragama temple in Kataragama, Sri Lanka, is a temple complex dedicated to Buddhist guardian deity God Kataragama and Hindu War God Murugan. It is one of the few religious sites in Sri Lanka that is venerated by the Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims and the Vedda people. Kataragama deviyo is a deification of the legendary king Mahasena, who is born as a Bodhisattva. According to legendary history, Ruhunu Kataragama Maha Devalaya was built by King Dutugemunu around 160 years B.C. in fulfilment of a vow to defeat King Elara in battle. It was endowed with a large extent of land by King Dutugemunu for its maintenance and subsequent monarchs did likewise. Kataragama is a multi-religious sacred town. Despite the differences of caste and creed, many Sri Lankans show great reverence to God Kataragama. They honour him as a very powerful deity and beg divine help to overcome their personal problems or for success in business enterprises, etc., with the fervent hope that their requests will be granted. They believe that God Kataragama exists and is vested with extraordinary power to assist those who appeal to him with faith and devotion in times of distress or calamity.

    A beautiful, slightly hidden gem in Kataragama. The town is in walking distance. The lovely family welcomed me with tea and snacks and brought me into the super clean and fancy room including fan and A/C, as well as a comfortable bed. The bathroom is super big and clean as well. I got a proper breakfast including tea again.
