Welcome to Manju Homestay! We are just a 5 min drive away from Sigiriya Rock (which you could easily walk) and 10 mins away from Pidurangala Rock. We offer a comfortable room with hot water which is set in a peaceful area full of wildlife. There are plenty of shops and restaurants around within walking distance, and I have a tuk tuk if you want to venture further.
I'm Ruwan Chamara and I'm the owner of this property. I'm 23 years old and my friends call me Manju.
This part of Sigiriya is naturally stunning and there are loads of activities other than the main attraction - Sigiriya Rock. There's the 'other' rock (Pidurangala) which has amazing sunrises and sunsets, lake tours, a 'secret' experience at a hidden river deep in the jungle and ancient temple visits. Ask me for more details :)
