With being only 500 from Sigiriya Rock, it is in prime real estate location. No construction is permitted within a certain radius of the Rock in order to protect the environment. So being close to the rock and the restaurants, yet down a road off the main road, it is in an excellent location.

Pathum homestay only has one bedroom for rent. It is a triple bedroom, comprising of one double bed and one single bed. There is no AC, only a stand up fan to help you keep the room cool. There are mosquito nets too.

The private attached bathroom contains a toilet, douche, wash basin and shower. There is no hot water, but the water is likely to come out warm given the surrounding heat.

The house itself is set in jungle surroundings, and you need to keep your eyes and ears alert for the monkeys. They use snatch and grab tactics so beware. This is a tranquil place apart from the sounds of the jungle. It is suitable for those seeking a jungle experience.

Your host is the delightful Anu with her husband and daughter. They look forward to hosting you.
