Intro

Let’s guide you inland, in-depth, to off-the-beaten-track rural villages. Luxuriant paddy fields, untamed wildlife, secret ponds, mighty rocks, cultivation areas and more are just part of the experience. Be welcomed by real villagers in real villages, share a moment of their life, taste their food and get to know them.

A day in Thoppigala (Kudumbimalai) will start by leaving the main road for the previously war affected inland rural area. After visiting the military museum, you will climb the 1,750 ft high Thopigala mighty rock and enjoy a breath-taking view of the peaceful surroundings. For lunch, you’ll be invited to share the usual village food of a local family, and will surely have a small walk around to see the villagers’ activities and hidden pond. Wildlife might surprise you on the way, with its lazy buffaloes, grazing cattle and wild birds. You might even observe a few crocodiles, if they are ready for a photo shoot.
