We meet and greet our host who will show you around her house and your rooms for the 2 nights. After which we head over to the Polwatta Eco lodge to engage in a cooking experience, where you will together with the chef learn and get hands on preparing local curries. After the feast for lunch you head back to the home stay and in the evening head out for a spot of bird watching.
Overnight Home stay
We start off the day with a village trek. The walk begins from our home stay and is through quaint villages with their Kandyan Forest Gardens where the villagers go about their daily chores at their own easy pace. You will be invited to visit their houses and see, for example, how they make treacle and jaggery (syrup and sugar blocks made from the sap/nectar of a palm tree). You will be given a "Botany lesson" by our Guide of the various trees you will see on the way, such as cloves, pepper, nutmeg, coffee, cocoa, jack, bread-fruit, arecanut, mangosteen, mango, passion-fruit, rambuttan, banana, papaya etc. You will also see rice-fields, and time permitting, a glimpse of our nearby reforestation program – life in harmony with nature……and a breath-taking view of the lake surrounded by majestic mountains.
Home stay overnight. Tour ends the in the morning
