Itinerary
06:00 Leave Kandy and proceed with your driver for two hours to reach undiscovered Mahiyanganaya.
08:30 Arrive at Mahiyanaya and start a trekking with a local guide to explore the hidden waterfalls. You will trail passing some wonderful countryside attractions including paddy fields and canals. When the trail is progressed, you will enjoy the sounds of the waterfalls and songs of the birds. Visit two beautiful hidden waterfalls and explore the surrounding nature with wonderful flora and fauna.
12:30 At the end of the waterfall trekking experience, you will be driven to your hotel in Mahiyanganaya.
14:00 Arrive at four-star luxury hotel and spend some time at leisure.
15:30 Leave to visit the Wedda village of Dambana. The term “Wedda” translates to “people of the forests” and members of this indigenous community have been taking refuge in the Dambana forest for centuries. Learn more about their fascinating lifestyle of a forest dweller and how they have adapted to the changing times.
18:00 Arrive back at the hotel and enjoy the hotel facilities including dinner with wine and beer. Overnight Stay at Keven’s Casa Hotel Mahiyanganaya.
05:30 Leave the hotel to witness the dawn of a new day, as the sun rises over the horizon of the beautiful Sorabora Lake. Listen to the birds chirping away as you breathe in that fresh morning air and enjoy the true beauty of nature.
06:00 Do a scenic, hour-long boat tour across the 1440acre body of water in Sorabora Lake and enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful views of the blue waters. If lucky, catch the moment when a diving bird plunges into the water for a fishy snack. Whilst at the lake, watch as the local fishermen use a traditional form of fishing to enclose the fish and bring it ashore.
06:30 After over 30 minutes of sailing across the lake, we head towards the local fish market located at the edge of the lake. Watch as the locals come by to view the lake fish available, haggle over the price and head home with some fine Lake fish. After visiting the market, it’s time to head back to the boat and head towards where we initially set sail.
07:30 When the hunger pangs kick in, it’s time for breakfast with a view. Head over to the top of the Sorabora Rock where our chef will await your arrival to cook up a freshly prepared, delicious breakfast.
08:30 Try your hand at milking the friendly yet mischievous cows in Mahiyangana. Learn about the procedure from a local villager and get hands-on experience milking a cow.
09:30 You will also be able to enjoy Swing at the edge of the Lake or mountain biking to explore more about the surrounding.
11:00 Check out from the hotel and proceed to your next destination (Transportation will be provided to Ella, Yala, Pasikuda, Polonnaruwa, Habarana, Dambulla, Sigiriya, Kandy and Nuwara Eliya free of Charge).
