Hide Yala is situated in Yodakandiya Thissamaharama. Within close proximity to most attractions in the area and offering a serene environment away from busy city life Hide Yala is increasingly winning hearts of Nature lovers and Wild life enthusiasts . It is a simple setup without the usual frills attached. We offer an extremely clean and airy place to spend a few carefree days, enjoying local cuisine prepared by our very own trusted caretaker. Whether you are traveling alone or in a group you would find the setup we offer refreshingly warm and affordable. The property is scattered with trees and, it is under the giant tamarind tree that the main house of the building is placed. The Main house consists of common areas such as the sitting area, dining hall and the kitchen . It also houses the Dormitory capable of accommodating up to 8 adults with two attached washrooms. Apart from the main building the property also consists of two AC equipped chalets that can be booked separately too if need be. We will be happy to arrange your wild life safari at a time convenient for you during your stay with us. A walk to the lake and a visit to the Sithulpawwa temple is recommended.
As a wild life enthusiast myself, I always wanted to own a place of my own , owing to a relationship with nature established early in my life. It‘s to feed my own interest that the property was first established. My family and I spend most of our vacations here at this little piece of heaven. While visiting the Yala National Park in search of good sightings is on the top of my favorite things to do while in the area, local culture, architecture and food interest me too. However personally nothing tops the feeling of seeing a wild cat in close proximity or close encounters with elephants, bears and the deer. I also enjoy the bird life at my property as well as at the park. Photographing bird life, has become a recent interest . Speak to me and I shall be happy to assist you with planning your journey.
Hide Yala is in Koragaha Ulapatha Sithulpawwa. About 400 meters from the main road that takes you to the Bambawa entrance of Yala National Park. It provides the perfect base from which you can explore the area of Thissamaharama , Hambanthota , Kataragama and Yala itself. There are a couple of attractions within close proximity to the bungalow. a. Yala National Park – Bambawa entrance of Yala national park – 6 Kms form Hide Yala (Alternative to the main entrance wich is 12Kms away) b. Sithulpawwa Raja Maha Viharaya – Ancient Buddhist monastery build during the 2nd century B.C by king Kavantissa c. Thissamaharama Raja Maha Viharaya - Buddhist educational center of the southern Sri Lanka from the 3rd century B.C. to the 11 th century A.D d. Debarawewa pond. e. Magul Maha Viharaya f. Bundala & Kumana National Parks. g. Kataragama Temple and surrounding Hindu Kovil. Apart from the above you would also enjoy recent attractions in the area such as . - Bird Research Centre Hambanthota - International Cricket Stadium - Dry Zone Botanic Gardens - Hambantota
