About this activity
• 8.30 am - Pick up from hotel and transfer to Hiriwadunna Village
Experience a traditional village lifestyle as you explore the quiet village of Hiriwadunna. Explore the countryside with a trek to a man-made reservoir, embark on a boat ride and hop on a cart as you travel through paddy fields and vegetable patches before resting at a local house for some scrumptious lunch.
• Boat ride in Village, cooking class and local lunch
• Visit Dambulla Cave Temple
Dambulla Cave Temple is also quite commonly referred to as the Golden Temple of Dambulla, owing to the large, golden statue of Lord Buddha. Towering 160m in height, ascend the stone steps until you reach the summit, where approximately 153 statues of Buddha are held inside the caves. You’ll also find statues of gods, goddesses and local kings. The cave temple has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
• Climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress
Sigiriya is one of the most popular, historic towns in Sri Lanka. Sigiriya is famed for its dramatic Sigiriya Rock Fortress built by a parricidal king who dreamed of building his palace in the sky and his kingdom around it. The immaculately designed, advanced water gardens, the beautiful frescoes of deities adorning the rock face and the stunning panoramic view from the peak are some of the main attractions at Sigiriya Rock.
• Enjoy king coconut refreshments
