This private day excursion to the hamlet of Hiriwadunna in Sri Lanka showcases the laid-back rhythms of small village life. While local people fish and wash their clothes, they see species such as crocodiles, butterflies, and birds in the local reservoir. Then take a boat trip across the lake to the opposite side, where you’ll have a ‘bullock’ cart ride and a complimentary Sri Lankan lunch. At the local reservoir, look for butterflies, birds, and the odd crocodile. A traditional bullock cart is also available for hire. This is a fantastic way to experience Sri Lankan rural life.
Hiriwadunna Village tour.
You may visit the tiny hamlet of Hiriwadunna from Sigiriya to observe how the locals live. The day excursion lasts approximately 5-hours and includes a boat journey to the town (where you may observe numerous birds and maybe even crocodiles) and a stroll through the hamlet.
Expect to witness people fishing, going about their everyday lives, seeing more animals, and eating a home-cooked meal prepared by the villagers!
