කැලෑව Jungle Eco Resort

What a fabulous accommodation option. Right from the outset the host, Janaka, was extremely welcoming with a cold juice to start our visit. The location is amongst a forest setting with a variety of bird life. The rooms were large, clean, a comfy bed and cool air-conditioning. They offer a delicious home cooked meal and cold drinks (including beer), as well as breakfast. If you're staying at Mihintale, then can't recommend Janaka's accommodation highly enough. Also recommend late afternoon visit to the Mihintale Temple complex (5min away by vehicle). Plan to be there for sunset.

Great interesting stay, the owner and his son were very kind, welcoming and nice people. The room was cool and the location was different! We got dinner with them which was nice and the owner suggested something on the menu that was much better value for money than what we were going to order which we appreciated.

Not much :)

Our stay here was absolutely amazing. The place is beautiful and surrounded by real jungle, which made the experience very special. We could see and hear so many animals around us – it felt like being right in the middle of nature. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming. He prepared a delicious dinner for us, which was one of the best meals we had during our stay in Sri Lanka. At the end he also helped us arrange a driver with his friend, which made our next part of the trip very easy. We are very grateful for his help and hospitality. We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience the jungle and authentic Sri Lankan hospitality.

Great place Friendly host Good food ,good location. You really felt you were in the jungle We even had a porcupine run past st supper time

Nothing

Janaka is THE host—truly exceptional in the hospitality scene in Sri Lanka. He is incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel completely at home, while also being highly professional and attentive to all our needs. He went out of his way to help us plan our days in Mihintale exactly as we wished—and what he managed to organize for us was no small feat! He was also genuinely concerned for our safety throughout our stay: while Sri Lanka is a very safe country, his attentiveness was still much appreciated. The food cooked by his wife was amazing—made with quality ingredients, prepared beautifully, and full of bold, authentic flavor. Easily one of the top three meals we had in Sri Lanka. If you're planning a trip to Anuradhapura or Mihintale to explore the sacred Buddhist sites, and you're looking for something authentic and off the tourist trail, stay in Mihintale. It's rich with temples and spiritual atmosphere. Stay at Janaka’s place, ask him for advice, and you won’t be disappointed.
