    Description

    My apologies to the many I have not replied. Was away from the entire trade for a long time and now started of again with a small hostel project.

    Hi i'm Chathura (If that is hard to pronounce you can call me Chatz). We run a hostel in the misty hills of Kandy. Few years back I started one of the most fun hostels in Kandy (Now run by my friend). It was a really fun place and the we had the tragic easter attacks and the year after the pandemic hit. So I had to hang my hostel boots and get back to corporate work to get the bills paid.

    Now that things have settled down, I have started to build a new hostel, which is actually a bit away from the city but close enough to be called a Kandy hostel. (5km away from the city center)

    We strive to make our volunteers feel at home away from home. Rarely would we say no and rarely would you need to ask once we agree and commence on our assignments. Hoping to hear from you and working together in the near future.

    PS : Most of the reviews I have from workaway folk is for my earlier two hostels. I can assure you the new hostel experience is as good or even better as we are surrounded by great green forests.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We love sharing all our local insights of Kandy as well as the rest of Sri Lanka. If you would like to cook Sri Lankan food we can offer you free classes. Since we are located within a village you would be able to see more local culture and customs and the actual live of a villager not too far from the city.

    Accommodation

    Your accommodation would be within a 4 bed mixed dormitory with all bedding and linen included. It has a shared bathroom and is located on the ground floor of the hostel. However if you are staying for a long time with us and if the hostel occupancy is low we at times upgrade you to deluxe double rooms. So that you would occasionally enjoy some personal space and added comfort.
