    Very nice contact with the hosts. They are a lovely couple who enjoy to get to know their guests. Breakfast was amazing. I would definitely go back. You definitely need a tuk tuk to access the house. We had a driver, so this wasn't a problem.

We’re 2km from the Kandy city center. Our home is situated in a fairly large garden, lots of greenery, and fairly large trees in the vicinity, quiet, undisturbed and relaxing environment. The magnificent view of the Hantane mountain range is visible from our veranda. The guests could have the wake up calls in the morning by the tropical birds. Although in the city, we live in non congested surroundings. Our house constructed in 1992 and it is a split level structure. The design of the residence is based on a 1950 s Sri Lankan country house plan. The guest rooms are at the lower level. Evergreen Homestay has three guest rooms with the capacity to accommodate 6 persons. (2 for each room) Room 1 has a private washroom. Rooms 2and 3 are adjoining rooms with a single washroom (a family set up). All rooms do have direct access to the garden and the guests do not have to go through interior of the host residence. Complimentary breakfast is provided. Parking area available for up to 3 cars (no driver accommodation) Families with kids are welcome
I am Dr. Sena de Silva, a Dental Surgeon by profession. Soon after graduation I joined the Government Health Service in Sri Lanka. Subsequently I was in the service of the Kaduna state Government of Nigeria from 1977 to 1986. Now I am on my own general practice on a semi retirement level. My wife Ranjini was teacher and now she is a Family Counselor. Our only daughter is married (a Navy wife) with 2 kids and she lives close to our house. I am interested in photography also in Nature and History including Archeology. Sena and Ranjini are the only occupants and we are a people friendly couple.

Notes on Kandy for Visitors Sri Lanka is a tremendously photogenic island, so it’s hardly surprising that most tourists bring a camera of some kind when they visit the country. The stunning landscapes, the captivating fauna and lush flora, and the stupendous archaeological remains provide great opportunities.

Kandy city consist of places of worship of all the religions belonging to various periods of time. There are a number of exciting things to do in Kandy. From historical sites to cultural attractions, explore the exhaustive list of all other local attractions in Kandy.
