Riding around each lake and pausing at scenic spots to capture breathtaking views was truly mesmerizing. We encountered monitors and various bird species, adding to the natural charm of the journey. Learning the art of making clay pots from a skilled artisan and crafting our own on a traditional wheel was a hands-on highlight, leaving us with a cherished souvenir and newfound appreciation for the craft. Experiencing the curd making process was a delightful insight into village life in Tissamaharama, where we learned the secrets of crafting delicious curd pots. Tasting fresh curd with honey was the perfect finale to this unique and enriching tour. Highly recommend this experience for anyone seeking an authentic slice of Sri Lankan culture!"
