Tour Overview
Half a day in a working farming village near Habarana: a bullock cart along the field bunds, a catamaran across the tank, and lunch cooked with you in a clay pot over a wood fire.
It is among the best-value few hours in the Cultural Triangle, and for a great many guests it is the part of the trip they talk about afterwards.
