What Guests Said About Kataragama:

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.

It's a large old hotel, catering to the many pilgrims who travel through Kataragama. But they were very welcoming to we Western tourists! We took a room with a private balcony, but it was a claustrophobic small area out the back, the large shared terrace at front was much more attractive. Because they are not catering to Westerners, the price is very good value. As everywhere, the staff were so kind, helpful and welcoming, in spite of little English being spoken. There is also a pool! (though we didn't use it).

This hotel is a fantastic choice for visiting Kataragama. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful, ensuring a smooth stay. The comfortable rooms and pool provide ample relaxation options. The location next to a scenic paddy field offers mesmerizing morning views. The delicious food is served in generous portions, making it excellent value for money.

Helpful and knowledgeable staff, very willing to help and go beyond their own schedule to make sure everything went well. We went to Kataragama only for the safari i Yala, and the manager helped us set up things. The rooms also had ac which is nice, and the hotell offered laundry service.
