Hostels in Tissamaharama

We really enjoyed our stay at Yala Yin Yang Hostel. The place is in very close proximity to the national park so you might be able to spot wildlife right from the terrace or window. Dimuthu, the owner, as well as Seneca, the manager, are incredibly friendly and helpful. Seneca took us for a walk on our first day and showed us a crocodile pond and a nice beach close by. They also helped us organize a really good full day jeep tour through the Nationalpark. The next town is Kirinda which is 10 minutes away by motorbike or scooter. Take your time and enjoy the ride - we spotted monkeys, crocodiles, eagles, water buffaloes and wild elephants close to the road! We booked the 3-bedroom option for three nights, which was clean but simple and had an en-suite bathroom. The design of the building is very open, so be ready to have nature (lizards, insects) being in a room with you from time to time. We did not mind at all but it’s definitely not for everyone. We highly recommend this place for people who want to connect with nature and appreciate the simplicity of this place. We will definitely be back!

The caretaker made my stay amazing, the food was very good and the place is really nice.

Pradeep is an amazing host. We had great conversations with him and learned a lot. If you want to visit Yala National park, this is your place to stay. He offers a great tour at a fair price, just hit him up and he’ll have you covered. Hostel has a nice layout. Everything is within walking distance

Nice stay clam place with budget money,arrange best safari
