Habarana Excursion

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

Upon arrival, we'll switch from the tuk tuk to an ox-drawn cart, a traditional transport method that will take us to Habarana Lake. Once at the lake, 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 Asia's most widely used cereal grain. You can enjoy walking through the expansive rice fields.

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

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