Hiriwadunna Village Tour

Climb aboard a catamaran built from two tethered canoes, a popular means of locomotion for locals. Slowly and leisurely, you will glide over the calm water to admire the Sigiriya Rock from a distance. Surrounded by the jungle and the abundant leaves of the water lilies**, there is a truly peaceful and calming atmosphere. It remains exciting when you get off the boat and change to an oxcart, which will take you past the rice fields where the workers work diligently. Enjoy the tour of the landscape, which has a few surprises in store for you if you take a closer look. Numerous birds, monkeys, pythons, lizards and many other wild animals cavort in the trees and shrubs along the way. With a little luck you might even meet an elephant. After the impressive tour through the surroundings of Hiriwadunnas, enjoy a trip to the culinary world of Sri Lanka. Women from the village will show you how traditional dishes are prepared according to old recipes and with the simplest means. If you enjoy this exotic cuisine, perhaps cook it at home and bring spices from Sri Lanka with you.
