Habarana Excursion

At 10 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Sigiriya and head to the town of Habarana, approximately 30 minutes away.

Upon arrival, we'll switch from a tuk tuk to an ox-drawn cart, a traditional means of transport, which will take us to the shores of Habarana Lake. There, we'll board a boat for a ride across this artificial reservoir.

After the boat ride, we'll visit some rice fields to observe the cultivation of this essential cereal grain. Enjoy a stroll through these extensive rice fields.

Next, we'll return to the center of Habarana to meet a local family, who will teach us to prepare their traditional recipes. After the cooking class, a delicious buffet lunch featuring rice, curry, fish, salad, and papadam awaits.

At the end of the excursion, we'll return you to your hotel in Sigiriya, arriving at 1:30 pm.
