A day in the village
Village tours in the Sigiriya area give a glimpse of rural life that has changed little in generations. Families farm rice and vegetables by hand, water comes from ancient tanks, and meals are cooked over a wood fire.
What tours often include
- A ride by bullock cart along village tracks
- A crossing of a reservoir in a small canoe
- A walk through paddy fields and home gardens
- Lunch in a village home, served on a lotus leaf
Tips
- Wear light, modest clothing and shoes you don’t mind getting dusty.
- Ask before photographing people.
- Tell us about any dietary requirements in advance.
Prices, timings and inclusions vary by season and operator — ask our front desk for current details and to book.
