Unforgettable Stay at Farm Villa Resort! Amazing location with easy access to Yala National Park. The surroundings are absolutely stunning — full of natural beauty and peaceful vibes. We stayed two nights at Farm Villa Resort and had an unforgettable experience. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a large balcony and even a private pool! We loved how much space and privacy we had, and the view of the paddy fields was breathtaking. You can even take a walk through the fields — a truly unique experience. The staff were exceptional — friendly, attentive, and made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. One of the best parts of our stay was the full-day safari to Yala Block 5, arranged by the resort. It started early at 5 a.m. with a private guide who helped us spot rare animals and birds. The resort took care of everything — from a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast to a memorable jungle lunch. Everything was perfectly organized for a comfortable and exciting experience. The resort is also great for bird watching and wildlife lovers — even monkeys came to visit us near the villa! The food was another highlight — both breakfast and dinner were full of authentic Sri Lankan flavor. The large swimming pool was clean and perfect for relaxing after a long day. We highly recommend Farm Villa Resort to anyone visiting Kataragama or Yala. This was one of the best stays we’ve had in Sri Lanka — and we will definitely be back!

Had to give a shoutout to the staff – they were absolutely amazing! Super helpful and really know their stuff. Whether you’re planning to visit the Kataragama Dewalaya or go on a Yala safari, they’ll hook you up with the best options at very reasonable prices. They even have someone who can sort out your “Pooja watti” for you. And if you haven’t pre-ordered food, no stress – they’ll get it delivered from a nearby shop in just a few minutes. The place itself is great too – clean, spacious rooms with hot water. For the price, it’s more than worth it. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a safe, comfortable, and budget-friendly place to stay!

The place is amazing, if you're really looking for the feeling of being on a safari, I highly recommend it! They offer outdoor dinner with barbecue preparation, and then a night walk, we even saw a porcupine! We booked the safari with them, you wake up at 5 in the morning and enter the natural park at sunrise. The tents are spectacular, very well decorated and with all the comforts. The shower had hot water. I loved this place so much and I would definitely go again. The personal was really helpful. Thank yoooou

The pool is clean and has complete privacy with no unwanted person roaming around. Food was good, tasty and cooked fresh. The staff members were very friendly and accommodating. They even arranged a place for me to prepare my fruit basket prior to visiting the shrine. I'm did not have to bother about my vehicle as it was parked right near my assigned room. The drive to the entrance of the shrine was less than 5 minutes on the main road.

We’re really glad we chose the Mailagama Cinnamon Residence for our stay in Kataragama. The staff treated us with great respect and warm hospitality.

The rock carvings at buduruwagala are truly special. For me one of the highlights of the trip and definitely a hidden gem. Off the beaten track. Tranquil and beautiful you can really feel the energy here. We stayed with a family surrounded by nature. On the 2nd day we hired a scooter and drove into the mountains to visit Diyaluma Falls. Absolutely stunning and breathtaking and another highlight.

Off the beaten path and immersed in nature, a great place to escape the crowded Sri Lanka cities. It's very easy to stop here when you are coming from the mountains or the beach because it's precisely in the middle. The temperature year round is very pleasant and not as hot as the beach or as cold as the mountains. Locals are happy to see you and you won't get harassed by salespeople. It's a small town which offers a great market, lots of fruits and even a few restaurants with local prices everywhere. Go into the village and find accomodations nearby the national park border to really see a lot of wildlife. The place is known to have elephants, monkeys, frogs, peacocks, giant squirrels, and so many beautiful birds. We stayed just one day but I think at least 2 days would be better if you enjoy a peaceful retreat feel nearby nature with little distraction. This town is much more pleasant to walk around then Tissamaharama and has a relaxed atmosphere. Stop by and get a different experience in Tanamalwila.

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike.

It is a holy place visited by Buddhists and Hindus alike. Some Muslims also visit a mosque located in the sacred area. Buddhist usually visit the Kiri Vehera area first and then come to the Devale premises. There are circular roads to facilitate that sequence. Otherwise, one can walk to the Devale premises and then proceed to the Kiri Vehera premises. There are lot of boutiques selling various items including offerings for Devale. They are located in the town area. After that one has to cross a small bridge over the Menik River to enter the sacred area. Over the years both sides of the river have been re-organized for a better sequential experience.

Buttala is a beautiful little city close to the northern part of Yala National Park. If you pass by (maybe on your way to/from the east coast), stop here and enjoy a couple of nights in the local homestays (we can fully recommend Yala Avian Eye Safari!!). Safaris from here are calm and you can enjoy the northern part without hundreds of other jeeps.

Kataragama itself is a temple town and that’s pretty much it. Other than that it’s a jumping off point for safari in yala and kumana. One day is more than enough for cultural/religious aspects. The Perahara (pageant) in July is fantastic. Be warned that it may not start till midnight and may need pre booked tickets. Also watch out for pickpockets in crowded areas around this time. The country side and the rural life as well as the wildlife is fantastic and authentic. Quite hot and sunny year round but dec to feb is more comfortable.
