Itinéraire
Vous commencerez votre visite du village à 10h30. Vous recevrez des indications pour vous rendre au village, où votre guide vous attendra au moment de votre départ. Vous ferez une promenade rapide dans le village pendant que votre guide vous en dit plus sur la vie du village. Vous commencerez la première de vos activités vers 10h45. Le chariot à bœufs est couramment utilisé comme principal moyen de transport dans les villages sri-lankais. Vous ferez une promenade de 15 minutes en charrette à bœufs qui se terminera sur les rives d’un réservoir artificiel. De ce point, vous continuerez votre périple en catamaran traditionnel de 15 minutes. La région a de nombreux types de vie aquatique et végétale. Vous pourrez peut-être apercevoir un crocodile ou un moniteur d’eau occasionnel pendant que vous naviguez. Les cormorans et autres oiseaux d'eau sont une autre observation possible. Après avoir profité de votre temps avec la nature, vous serez déposé sur une banque adjacente à des rizières. Ces cultures de riz saisonnières, également appelées «cultures de Chena», dépendent des deux grandes périodes de pluies de mousson qui remplacent l’hiver au Sri Lanka. La promenade dans les champs vous permettra de voir la culture du paddy de première main. Cette visite rapide durera 15 minutes et votre guide vous informera des méthodes locales de culture du riz. Vous retournerez ensuite dans le village pour rencontrer un habitant qui vous fera une démonstration d'une demi-heure sur la cuisine traditionnelle sri-lankaise. La démonstration vous permettra également de faire votre propre tentative de cuisson d'un plat du Sri Lanka. Vous déjeunerez juste après 12h15. Le déjeuner sera un buffet de riz parfaitement cuisiné avec 6 currys du Sri Lanka, ainsi que du poisson frit frais. Vous aurez également une salade verte et du papadum croquant, un complément essentiel pour les repas dans la plupart des foyers sri-lankais et indiens. Vous mangerez sur des plateaux tissés avec des feuilles de lotus propres sur le dessus. Votre nourriture qui sera préparée de manière traditionnelle, dans des pots en argile au feu de bois. Après le repas plutôt relaxant, vous pourrez vous détendre à votre guise dans le village. Votre guide finira votre visite à 13h30.

It was ok overall. We were expecting a guide to tell us about the village life, but that wasn’t included. Just an ox ride, a very slow tractor ride. The catamaran boat ride was lovely. And then a very brief food demonstration, but we mostly just sat around until lunch was ready. We didn’t really get to see “the village”
Absolutely loved my tour, from pick up to the office for quick brief intro then you are on your way. Great communication, plenty of flavour for the home cooking and not to mention the beautiful lake on a catamaran with the tour guide making gorgeous flower arrangements. Totally recommend.
I would avoid booking on this platform altogether, book local or use get your guide. They were 20 minutes late to pick us up, tips were DEMANDED despite the tour price of 25 USD each. We waited another 15 minutes for the tractor to arrive and then after food another 20 minutes for the tuk tuk back to the city. The tour ended an hour and a half early if you count from when food was finished. An hour early from when we were dropped off. So about 45 minutes stood around waiting, and an hour early which means this 3 hour tour is just over 1 hour long. The food was nice, and the lady who cooked it sweet which is why I have given 2 stars not 1
Unfortunately, we didn't like the ox carriage ride so much, the animals are really not doing well there. We wouldn't have needed the tractor ride either. You go through several stations and everyone asks for tips from you, so you end up getting rid of a lot of money. We really liked the boat ride, the man was very friendly and we got beautiful flowers, we also liked the small cooking class very much. You could just shorten the tour a bit and then offer it correspondingly cheaper. Overall nice, but not worth 45 euros.

Trip starts with an ox-chart. Then tuk-tuk. When you reach the lake o boat is waiting for a a lake tour. The boatman prepares a hat form the lotus leaves and a necklace from lotus flowers. Then walking to the village where they prepare local food. You can join if you like. After preparing the local food with the help of the local woman you can eat the delicious food. Good experience especially for those who haven’t been to a village.
Very pleasant surprise! Got to ride on the back of a cow driven cart, tuk tuk, and a rowed catamaran - seeing animals and nature. It's a fun little stop along the way, and would definitely recommend.

This was a fabulous unexpected highlight of our time in Sigiriya. The staff were so fun and we had a delicious lunch cooked in a traditional kitchen using intuitive and basic utensils. The staff had pride in their traditional Sri Lankan village culture and were proud to show it. It was very fun.

Right from the hotel pickup to the amazing bullock cart ride through the rustic roads of Sigiriya village , a breathtaking view of the lake and in it a memorable Cataman ride , everything was beyond perfection. Then we arrived in the local villagers house where we were greeted with drum beats and had the experience of cooking and learning what srilankan cuisine is . We were served with love and had the most amazing start and end of our trip! Worth visiting again

It was a nice experience to visit the village of Sigirya. You start with a bull ride (don’t worry, it’s less than 10 minutes, because I too am not a fan of this kind of animal abuse), but then are brought onto the water on a nice boat. It’s very peaceful and calm. You receive a flower from the boat captain before docking. Then you walk though rice fields and are welcomed by ladies who prepare a home cooked, authentic over-the-fire meal. You can also try a few things and they give you a demo on how to make the roof out of rice leaves. You are then taken back by tuktuk to the start of the tour.

The ox cart ride was fun and the lake safari interesting but the standout was the lunch cooking in the village. The two girls explained everything and involved us in the preparation of a traditional meal over a wood fired oven. The meal was the best we have had in Sri Lanka. Exceptional
