The Southern part of the island has its own pulse. We dive deep into its countryside in this experience. The rural villages, the waterways and back roads of Galle are second nature to our host.
A small vessel carries you along a waterway, with the idyllic scenery of rural Galle on either side. Daily life here is slow-paced. The river bank is fertile. It supports many villages as well as rubber and cinnamon plantations. A few untended tea bushes come into sight. This rich habitat is home to birds, amphibians and reptiles aplenty! Your host is an expert in these topics. We’re back on firm ground now. Next up is a 9 km bike ride through lush green paddy fields, small pockets of people, and local markets. This experience brings you within touching distance of actual life here. A traditional mud hut is where we reach finally. The herbal tea served here is as good as it gets. The hoppers go straight from the fire to your plate! A local fermented pancake, it is perfect for scooping up chilli sambol. Oh, and let them know a little in advance if you’d like to add a traditional lunch to this experience.
Come back to the hotel and put your feet up a little. This rural experience will stay with you for a lifetime.
