Feel Like Home Anuradhapura

Popular points of interest near the hostel include Kada Panaha Tank, Nature Park Anuradhapura and Kumbichchan Kulama Tank. The nearest airport is Sigiriya, 67 km from Feel Like Home Anuradhapura, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. As usual in Sri Lanka, I've been hosted by very kind people who welcomed me with a nice and refreshing lemon juice. They'll do everything they can to make you comfortable. 10 minutes from the rock and his temple, not far from a nice lake. That's a good walk to do in early morning to be fool of good vibes and start a nice day in touch with nature. Here you can take your dinner and rent a bike, and receive good advices to plan your visits around. I had the chance to have the all dormitory for me, great !
