Customer Reviews
A nice excursion to do during a visit to Sri Lanka. Their village tour is sweet and simple...very easily available in India and is still how many of us still love but nevertheless it's a great option for foreigners to understand the culture. You can start the tour in a tuk tuk or a bullock cart. We chose a tuk tuk because why to hurt animals unnecessarily? After that we reached the lake with the catamarans. We rode it for a short time and the people who took us around made a beautiful necklace out of lotus flower and a hat out of lotus leaves. Sweet gesture. We did tip them for this and felt it was a small thing from our end. Subsequently we went to a village josie where we were to eat their home cooked traditional food. Unfortunately we are vegetarian so couldn't try much of their food. But if you do eat non veg, I suppose giving it a try. A small buffet is kept with some herbal tea that's made from coriander seeds and jaggery. We then ground some husk to get rice and then ground that to get rice flour. This is something we've done in our households so it was known to us. After this we returned to the starting point of the village and went ahead to our next tourist spot. On the trail we did pick up some fruits that was a small berry that's often used in jams.
We loved it! It’s a nice first activity to do after we arrived. It was chill. You get to see amazing view of Sigiriya. Best part is the lunch spot. You see the locals cook and you get a chance to cook with them . The food was too good my taste buds were having a party.
Very "touristy", but quite nice. You go on a waggon pulled by buffalo, then a waggon pulled by a tractor, then a cute boat where they make you necklaces from lily pods. The best part is the meal at the hut with the very nice village woman.
