About this experience

Climb into a tuk-tuk from your Sigiriya hotel and head into the heart of a traditional Sri Lankan village on this three-hour private tour. Ride an oxen cart along dusty paths, glide across the water on a traditional catamaran, and walk through the fields alongside local villagers. A local English-speaking guide keeps you connected to everything you see, explaining the rhythms of rural life that have shaped this community for generations.

Back on dry land, roll up your sleeves and learn to cook a traditional Sri Lankan meal before sitting down to a buffet lunch served in classic local style. Pickup and drop-off by tuk-tuk from your Sigiriya accommodation is included, as is the oxen cart ride, catamaran safari, and lunch. Gratuities are at your discretion. Minimum age for this private tour is ten years.
