I am a Civil Engineer by profession and worked in Roads and Highways construction industry. Lately I have built up my own interest in promoting a family based tourism facility at our old family home in Kandy. I love listening music, reading, leisure walks, playing cricket and associate with my close friends.

Enjoy the homestay with your family in the huge garden surrounded by fruit and spice trees , vegetable grown land while spending your leisure time observing the natural life, reading books, wood fire cooking and delicious Sri Lankan style meals. You can also enjoy morning bird watching over an authentic Ceylon cup of tea.
