About this experience

Sube a bordo de una barca de madera de un pescador local y lanza tu línea al Parakrama Samudra — uno de los mayores embalses antiguos de Sri Lanka, que se extiende por las afueras de Polonnaruwa. Tu guía te entrega una caña de pescar tradicional, del mismo tipo que los locales han utilizado durante generaciones, y te muestra los mejores lugares para atrapar pesca de agua dulce. La sesión dura dos horas en aguas abiertas, con vistas panorámicas del lago y el paisaje antiguo circundante.

Esta es una actividad privada, así que eres solo tú y tu pescador — sin multitudes, sin barca compartida. Se proporciona equipo de pesca tradicional, y se incluye una bebida para mantenerte cómodo en el agua: elige entre té, café o una cerveza fría. Los participantes deben tener 15 años o más. Ten en cuenta que los traslados del hotel y la comida no están incluidos, así que organiza tu propio transporte al lago antes de que comience la sesión.
