Embark on an enchanting journey into southern Sri Lanka's village life. Our adventure begins with a serene boat ride, where a naturalist reveals the vibrant wildlife. We dock at a coconut husk workshop, then cycle through the village, immersing in daily rhythms. At a vendor, we handpick vegetables for our cooking session at a wattle and daub hut. Here, we join our host to craft a delectable Sinhalese feast, learning about ingredients and techniques before indulging in a sumptuous lunch
