About this experience
Step into a private, air-conditioned vehicle as your English-speaking chauffeur guide leads you on this 8-hour tour from your hotel to Dambana, home of the Veddahs — Sri Lanka's indigenous aboriginal community. En route, pause at Sorabora Wewa and Ulhitiya Wewa, two ancient reservoirs that have supplied water to local communities for centuries. Walk through Dambana village and meet the Veddah people, one of the oldest surviving hunter-gatherer communities in the world.
On the return leg, the route takes you through the historic town of Mahiyangana, where you visit the Mahiyangana Temple — a significant Buddhist site with deep ties to Sri Lanka's earliest history. The tour is private, minimum age is 5, and hotel pickup and drop-off are included. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not covered, so bring what you need for a full day out.
