Leave the beaches behind and discover the real Sri Lanka on an unforgettable journey from Trincomalee to Minneriya National Park. This full-day tour combines stunning wildlife, traditional village culture, and delicious farm-to-table food.
Your adventure begins with a comfortable private pickup from your hotel. Relax and enjoy the scenic drive through coastal views, rice fields, and rural villages as you head towards Tissamaharama, the gateway to Yala.
Upon arrival, explore the cultural side of the region with a short visit to ancient temples and the peaceful Tissa Wewa lake, home to birds, water monitors, and lush landscapes. Learn about the area’s deep history and connection to local farming communities.
Next, you will be welcomed to our eco-friendly lakeside farm for a unique cultural lunch experience. Walk through the garden, pick fresh vegetables or fruits, and see how we cook rice and curry the traditional way - over a wood fire, in clay pots, inside a Sri Lankan mud-house kitchen. This is not a cooking class, but a chance to watch and taste authentic village cuisine prepared with love. Enjoy a freshly made lunch surrounded by nature and local hospitality.
