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.

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.

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.

Fantastic hotel amongst the paddy fields. Super quiet and calm. So nice to walk through the spice garden and learn about local trees, herbs and spices. Indaraj and the rest of the team were wonderful. Nothing was too much to ask -anything we needed was arranged in a heartbeat and at very reasonable prices. Indaraj even stayed up till 2am to ensure I arrived home safely after attending a huge local festival. The food at the restaurant was also great. Highly recommend for a more calm and secluded stay.

The guestrooms are separated from the house, so you have all the privacy. The rooms are basic but very beautiful and authentic - I really loved the room, the supercomfy bed and pillow. Srilankan breakfast is prepared on wood and was really good. The lady Karunawathi is very sweet. I was so happy I could use their bicycle. I went all over Kataragama, probably I did more than 50km by bike! For me it's the best way of discovering a place.

really lives up to its name..a grand hotel with lovely views of the lake. hotel rooms are HUGE. Good food and friendly staff especially Sumeera who saved my safari day as reception forgot to make booking - so he got it all done at 6am and then had breakfast ready on my return and then got me a taxi to leave. Thank you Malee..you are a credit to your team.

The staff was nice. Clean and quite place. There are plenty of parking available. AC and selling fan available in the room. There is a TV but it's not clear. The bed is very comfortable. Also there is a mirror, chair, mini table and a towel rack. The location was near to Kataragama town.
