About this experience

Climb into a Tuk Tuk at Hingula Junction — roughly an hour west of Kandy on Kandy Road — and head into the rural heart of Sri Lanka. This private, two-hour tour winds through rubber plantations and paddy fields before dropping you in Hingula village. Hop on an oxen cart, hear the story behind the local temple, and watch a farmer scale a palm to bring down fresh coconuts. Then roll up your sleeves to prepare Roti and Pol Sambol alongside your local guide before sitting down to eat inside a thatched clay home.

The tour runs daily between 08:30 and 16:00, so choose a slot that suits your morning or afternoon plans. Authentic Sri Lankan village food, your local guide, the oxen cart ride, and Tuk Tuk transfers from Hingula Junction are all included. Minimum age is 7. Lakpura organises this as a fully private experience, meaning the village is yours to explore at your own pace — ending with a cool, refreshing dip in a natural rock pool.
