You’ll meet Sri Lanka’s craft traditions in Divulapitiya, where generations of makers have worked with lacquer, batik, Dumbara weaving, drums, brass and clay. In Hiriwadunna, walk through village fields shaped by traditional farming, with a Farm-to-Table lunch of seasonal produce served in the open air. Nearby, watch artisans turn clay by hand into everyday pots using techniques passed down through families. At the Ibbankatuwa Megalithic Tombs, stone-built burial chambers take you much further back, into the lives and rituals of Sri Lanka’s prehistoric communities, before you reach Dambulla and your lakeside hotel.
