Stop At: Hingula, Hingula, Sabaragamuwa Province
To get to the village you will be riding a tuk-tuk (three-wheeled cab) approximately 12km into the countryside. The final stretch to the village can only be traversed on foot.
Once you get there you will find many thatched clay huts and farming villagers. They will treat you to a welcome drink of coconut or king coconut water. Then you will be taken to see the villagers harvest coconuts. They will then show you how they remove the husk before using the coconuts for cooking.
Next, you will be taken to a villager’s home, where you can experience a village-style cooking experience. The experience will include a hands-on demonstration of coconut scraping, grinding flour using a traditional millstone, roti making, and grinding spicy pol symbol on a traditional grinding stone.
On completing the lesson, you can enjoy your meal in the shade of the hut, watching village life pass you by.
At the end of your tour, you will be returning to Hingula Junction with your tour guide.
