Culture and Nature trip

Take a classic and off road jeep ride with a villager/guide to explore the culture and nature in Sigiriya and Habarana areas where you wold be able to visit an authentic village in the interior of Sigiriya, rice fields, vegetable fields, lakes, ancient temple, a monastery, a village blacksmith, village carpentry workshop, traditional brick makers, village vendors and walk through a forest where you could see birds, crocodiles and some local wildlife such as water buffaloes, if you are lucky even Elephants could be seen.
