A day in a Sri Lankan village moves at the pace of water and fire - and this tour drops you right into it. Choose your entrance: a slow, swaying buffalo cart ride or a bouncing little tractor run through the paddy fields. Then glide across a breathtaking local lake on a traditional catamaran, and finish at a charming local village home with an interactive cooking class - learning authentic village dishes and a classic Sri Lankan rice and curry - before your driver takes you safely back. Everything is included for one simple per-person price.
