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.

Grand Tamarind Lake, hotel in Kataragama

Set in Kataragama, 2.7 km from Ruhunu Maha Kataragama Devalaya, Grand Tamarind Lake offers accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a bar.

If you are visiting Kataragama, I strongly recommend The Grand Tamarind (TGT). The room was big, the linen was exquisite, the breakfast was delicious and big, and the staff everywhere were friendly and most professional. The location of TGT is strategic being so close to the Dēvālē and Kiri Vehera, and a short drive from it we were able to visit Yala Sanctuary and Situlpawwa rock temple. If I visit Kataragama again, TGT will be my choice for accommodation.

    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 great place in katargama and definitely one of the most unique places I've stayed in Sri Lanka. The whole decor of the hostel including the rooms was really nice. There was art everywhere and few pet animals. They even offer cycle to take to the main city as it's 3 km away. The room was quite big and comfortable. Fernando gave great recommendations of things to do in katargama.

    Their food was amazing. It's quite expressive. But It worth. Also Swimming Pool was amazing also. I never tried like that swimming pool in Kataragama. So I think as the best experience Sunflower Hotel is the best as a budget friendly hotel. Also I can't end this without mention the staff. Staff is very friendly. Reception boys, Restaurant Waiters, Security guy as a brothers to us.

    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.

    Absolutely beautiful hotel with a gorgeous view. Food was excellent and the service was perfect. Such a welcoming host who arranged a safari for us which was a fraction of the price of all the other safari services and the same quality. They grow many plants in their garden so you ear eating locally.
