Habarana Day Trip

At 10 am we'll pick you up from your hotel in Dambulla and drive to Habarana, which is a 30-minute drive away. Once we arrive, we'll start exploring Habarana for a first-hand insight into the lifestyle of the locals.

In this community, the ox-drawn cart is the main means of transportation. You'll experience this as we take one of these vehicles to the shores of Lake Habarana.

Once we reach the lake, we'll take a cruise to discover its flora and fauna from the comfort of the boat. Afterwards, we'll dock next to a rice field to learn about the importance of rice cultivation in Sri Lanka and stroll through the rice paddies.

Our next stop will be the home of a local family, who'll teach us how to prepare several typical Sri Lankan dishes. After preparing the dishes, we'll enjoy a buffet lunch of rice, curry, fish, salad, and crispy papadam.

Lastly, we'll drive back to your hotel in Dambulla, where we should arrive at 1:30 pm.
