The roughly six-hour outing includes pickup, bottled water, an air-conditioned vehicle, and flexibility for groups of up to six.

“We had a fantastic day thanks to our amazing guide Pradeep. He was a sea of information and was happy to answer any questions and was adamant to give us a true experience of local life. This was the first time we booked our own excursion and will do that every time without a doubt.”

2.Nuwara Eliya to Horton Plains, Strawberry& Ambewela Farm TUK

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · 8 hours · from $31

Set out early from Nuwara Eliya with a private English-speaking driver-guide, such as Mr. Saravan, for Horton Plains, World’s End, Baker’s Falls, Ambewela Farm, and Simply Strawberries. Transport is by tuk tuk, while park entry, food, and an inside-park hiking guide cost extra.

“The driver was very on time and drove well. Transportation is 5 stars. But it's way too expensive. On site, the transport can be organised much cheaper. That's why there are only 2 stars.”

3.Farm to Table Cooking & Authe: Village Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4 reviews · 2 hours · from $30Best value

Spend two hours in a reconstructed 200-year-old Sri Lankan village near Udawalawe. With an English or Sinhala guide and local women, you will visit an ancient precious-stone mine, peel cinnamon, pick vegetables, cook over an open fire, and eat the meal you prepare. Private groups keep it personal.

“Amazing experience! Such a beautiful property and very friendly staff. We really enjoyed touring the garden and seeing all the fresh produce. The cooking was fantastic! The wonderful staff really get you involved in the traditional cooking process and the end result was delicious - best coconut sambal and dahl we’ve had! I would highly recommend this activity.”
