Watch Football From A Rooftop At Nadeesha Homestay In Kandy

In Sri Lanka, home stays are a very popular, cheap, and fun way to get an insider's view on the local culture. Even though Sri Lanka is a poor country and hosting travelers at one's home provides a decent income for many families, it certainly doesn't mean that there wouldn't be many families who love to do it for the cultural exchange. And to be honest, in home stays you are often met with better hospitality than many of the hotels and lodges around. At Nadeesha home stay, you will meet Jayasena, the man of the house, who keeps busy by building an additional floor to the home, and his wife Patma who will feed you with all the traditional Sri Lankan curries and breakfast foods around! You will also meet their daughter Nadeesha, according to whom the homestay is named after, and of course Clara, a few weeks old Tibetan Terrier puppy, who is very keen on biting everything around her, toes in particular! Currently, the family has only one room available for the guests, but the dream of having a larger home stay is progressing, brick by brick.
