Millaniya's Organic Agro Farm

Discover Local Life in Rural Sri Lanka Experience Sri Lankan hospitality while interacting with locals during an immersive visit to a rural village. An eclectic mix of cultures, ethnicities and religions, Sri Lanka has a reputation for generosity and friendliness. Begin your immersion in Sri Lankan culture at Kithsiri Mewan, a 1,700-year-old Buddhist temple spread across different levels atop a rock cliff in Pokunuvita. See the temple’s artwork and natural beauty as you explore, then travel to the village of Millaniya. Here, enjoy a tuk-tuk ride through the village and down a path flanked by rice paddies and a rubber plantation, en route to the Agropark Millaniya. Meet your host and their family, then take a guided tour of the farm. You will have lunch before participating in several demonstrations, including learning how locals make rubber sheets out of tree sap. Afterward, say farewell and return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
