Reisroute
Je begint je Village Tour om 10:30 uur. Je krijgt een routebeschrijving naar het dorp, waar je op het moment van starten je gids zult ontmoeten. Je zult een korte wandeling door het dorp maken terwijl je gids je meer vertelt over het dorpsleven. Je begint de eerste van je activiteiten om ongeveer 10:45 uur. De ossenkar wordt vaak gebruikt als de primaire manier van vervoer in Sri Lankaanse dorpen. Je hebt een rit van 15 minuten met een ossenkar en eindigt aan de oevers van een kunstmatig reservoir. Vanaf dit punt gaat u verder naar een traditionele catamaranrit van 15 minuten. Het gebied kent vele soorten water- en plantenleven. U kunt tijdens het glijden een krokodil of watermonitor waarnemen. Een andere mogelijke waarneming zijn aalscholvers en andere watervogels. Nadat u van uw tijd met de natuur geniet, wordt u gestort op een bank die grenst aan sommige rijstvelden. Deze seizoensgebonden rijstteelt, ook wel 'Chena' cultivatie genoemd, is afhankelijk van de twee belangrijkste moessonregens die de plaats innemen van de winter in Sri Lanka. De wandeling door de velden zal je toelaten om de rijstcultivatie uit de eerste hand te zien. Deze korte rondleiding duurt 15 minuten en je gids zal je updaten met meer informatie over de lokale methoden voor rijstteelt. Je gaat dan terug naar het dorp en laat je kennismaken met een local, die je een kookdemonstratie geeft van een halfuur over traditionele Sri Lankaanse keuken. Met de demonstratie kun je ook je eigen poging doen om een Sri Lankaans gerecht te bereiden. Je gaat om 12.15 uur lunchen. De lunch is een buffet van perfect gekookte rijst met 6 traditioneel gekookte Sri Lankaanse curries en verse gebakken vis. Je hebt ook een groene salade en knapperige papadum, praktisch een essentiële aanvulling voor maaltijden in de meeste Sri Lankaanse en Indiase huizen. Je zult eten op geweven trays met schone lotusblaadjes erop. Uw voedsel dat op de traditionele manier wordt gekookt, in kleipotten over houtvuurtjes. Na de eerder ontspannende maaltijd kunt u op uw gemak wat tijd doorbrengen in het dorp. Je gids zal je tour afronden om 13:30 uur.

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
