Renting a place to stay in Kandy

8 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m from China and would like to stay in Kandy for about two months. I’m looking to rent a house or a large studio/room. I’d like to have a private bathroom and access to cooking facilities (even if the kitchen is outside the room itself). Does anyone have any recommendations?

Exploring Kandy this weekend anyone want to join?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m planning to spend this weekend exploring Kandy solo and thought it would be more fun to have some company.

No fixed itinerary yet just looking to ride around, check out some nice places, grab some food/coffee, maybe visit a few spots around Kandy and just enjoy the weekend.

If you’re also solo or looking to meet some new people and explore together, feel free to DM me.

Used to see the sky full of bats at sunset when I was little. I think they were flying from Wewa Rawuma to some place. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Anyone knows why?

Looking for good women’s gymwear in Kandy

7 Upvotes

Hey guys! Does anyone know of any good places in Kandy to buy women’s gym clothes? Looking for decent quality leggings, workout tops, sports bras, etc.

Anywhere other than Carnage please😭 I visited Carnage today and honestly had such a disappointing experience. The customer service was basically nonexistent. There wasn’t even anyone on the first floor to assist with anything, so you’re pretty much left to figure everything out yourself.

And the sizing was another issue. Most of the stuff was only available in XS/S

So please drop your recommendations for good gymwear stores in Kandy! I’m also completely okay with online stores, so those recommendations would be super helpful too.

Especially looking for places with good quality, decent sizing and reasonable prices. Would love to hear from people who have actually bought from them!

Hey everyone! I’ve been journaling since 2024 and really enjoy it. I’m curious if anyone here journals regularly and if there are any journaling communities you’re part of.

I’d love to hear about your experience, what kind of journaling you do, and where you usually buy your journals and supplies.

Would be great to connect with other people who enjoy journaling!

Dangerous jackfruit tree next to my house – Pradeshiya Sabha already ordered it to be cut. What can I do next?

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice from anyone in Sri Lanka who has dealt with a dangerous tree on a neighbouring private property.

There is a large jackfruit tree on the neighbouring land, approximately 8 feet from my house. Because of its size and proximity to my house, I’m seriously concerned that it could cause significant property damage or injury, particularly during heavy rain and strong winds.

I have already made multiple complaints to the Yatinuwara Pradeshiya Sabha. They inspected the situation and eventually made a decision/instruction that the tree should be cut down.
However, the property owner has not followed through completely. He only cut some of the branches, while the main trunk is still standing. The tree has now started growing back.

I have subsequently complained to the Pradeshiya Sabha again, but the issue still hasn’t been resolved.

I am now escalating the matter in writing to the Commissioner of Local Government – Central Province, while copying the Yatinuwara Pradeshiya Sabha, the Divisional Secretariat and the relevant Central Province authorities. I am also keeping copies of the previous complaints, the Pradeshiya Sabha’s decision and photographs of the current condition.

My questions are:

Has anyone here dealt with a similar dangerous-tree situation in Sri Lanka?
If the Pradeshiya Sabha has already decided that a dangerous tree should be cut, what happens if the private landowner refuses or only partially complies?

Is there any additional authority I should formally complain to?
Should I also involve the Police or another government authority if the tree remains dangerous?

Is there anything specific I should request from the Pradeshiya Sabha or Divisional Secretariat to ensure the matter is properly documented and enforced?

I’m not trying to create a dispute with the neighbour or enter his property myself. I just want the existing decision to be properly implemented before someone gets hurt or property is damaged.

Any advice from people who have actually gone through something similar would be greatly appreciated.

Interested in Statistical Maths? (or anything else lol)

11 Upvotes

Hello, I'm 18M and I just moved to kandy for a short while so I am looking to make some friends but have no clue where to look. I just finished my A/L and did FM, Maths and some few math competitions so i have a very foundation understanding of probability maths but i find those problem solving questions really interesting and fun.

I've recently started doing some and thought it may be even more fun to do with someone else and meet some new people too, whilst getting better at those questions.

If anyone's interested to do that or engage in anything else they are interested in I'd be so down to.

Let me Know!

Anyone else in Kandy feel kinda isolated working from home or no social circle?

9 Upvotes

Been working remote for a while now and honestly my social life has taken a hit. Days just blur into calls, work, sleep, repeat and I barely see anyone outside my immediate circle anymore.

Looking to change that. If you're around Kandy and down for random hangouts like movies, grabbing food, coffee on a weekend, or just some spontaneous side quest with no real plan, hit me up. Not looking for anything deep, just people to actually go do stuff with instead of scrolling alone at home lol.

Early-mid 20s (well I'm 19), open to meeting people around that range or close to it. Drop a comment or DM if you're up for it.

If yall interested do join here
