My property shows one acre . I have only two room which is double and beautiful. I live with my parents next to home stay. and people who come to my place can be have food which my mum cooked. there is a jungle behind my place and guys who like to do adventure walking tour can be done. but it depends on the weather and time. there two lakes near us and can be cycling around lake and see some peacock and lots of birds and some times crocodile and in the evening elephant but it's rare. and I'm living at kataragama which is a pilgrimage town sacred to Buddhist, Hindu and indigenous Vedda people of Sri Lanka. People from South India also go there to worship. The town has the Ruhunu Maha Kataragama devalaya, a shrine dedicated to Skanda-Murukan also known as Kataragamadevio. Kataragama is in the Monaragala District of Uva province, Sri Lanka. It is 228 km ESE of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. Although Kataragama was a small village in medieval times, today it is a fast-developing township surrounded by jungle in the southeastern region of Sri Lanka. It houses the ancient Kiri Vehera Buddhist stupa.

It was the seat of government of many Sinhalese kings during the days of Rohana kingdom. Since the 1950s the city has undergone many improvements with successive governments investing in public transportation, medical facilities, and business development and hotel services.
