Additional Information
Experience this simplicity as you journey across the village in a bullock cart. Next, take a boat ride through the lotus filled Hiriwaduna Wewa and enjoy a splash of jollity and striking views against the backdrop of Sigiriya’s mighty rock fortress. Soak up the abundant birdlife and bountiful natural beauty as you glide along the waters. Also, have a refreshing beli mal drink- an island style thirst quencher. Finally, relish a traditional Sri Lankan meal, filled with flavour and natural goodness.
