Habarana Excursion

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

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

Following the boat ride, we will visit rice fields to observe the cultivation of this essential cereal grain in Asia. You will enjoy walking through the extensive rice fields.

Next, we'll return to Habarana's center to meet a local family who will instruct us on preparing traditional recipes. After the cooking class, we will enjoy a buffet lunch featuring rice, curry, fish, salad, and papadam.

At the conclusion of the excursion, we will return you to your hotel in Sigiriya, arriving by 1:30 pm.
