Immerse yourself in the culture of polunnaruwa

DESCRIPTION

Polunnaruwa is one of the heritage sites of Sri Lanka and surrounded by many lakes & national parks like Wasgumuwa National Park and Somawathiya. Over the next five days you will be immersed in the local life of the people living here. Most of them are farmers having vegetable & paddy cultivations, some are fisherman catching their fish in nearby lakes. A typical dish from here is “Kurakkan Rotti “ with lake fish curry and sweetcorn during the season. You can join them fishing, planting and harvesting or can help cooking their delicious Sri Lankan food.

Besides joining the villagers in their daily work, you will also have the opportunity to teach the village children English by means of different workshops. You can teach them in a playful way with the help of a coordinator.
