Yala Ying Yang Hostel & Camping

Yala

Situated in Yala, 500 metres from Palatupana Beach, Yala Ying Yang Hostel & Camping features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a restaurant. The property is around 17 km from Tissa Wewa, 25 km from Situlpawwa and 32 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary. The accommodation offers karaoke and room service. I loved this place. It is a bit 'in the wild' but that is the beauty of it - it is right next to the park and there are lots of animals (especially birds) to see. The owner was very friendly and arranged pick-up for me and bought some curd and treacle to try. He also played pool with me (yes, there is a large and well kept pool table there.) As it was quiet when I was there he kindly gave me a better room for the same price. He also owns riverside cabanas which I recommend staying at.# Nearby is a beautiful beach that looks prehistoric and you can walk along the sand dunes.
