Add an extra week to the end of your trip to experience life in one of rural Sri Lanka’s more remote villages.
Your local Work the World guide will meet you when you arrive and take you to your accommodation for the week.
In the mornings, you’ll head to the nearby Ayurveda clinic. Ayurveda, or ‘tree medicine’, is a 5000-year-old healing art passed down through generations.
You’ll learn how to create Ayurvedic medicines from plants and tree barks gathered from the surrounding forest. The diagnoses and treatments will fascinate you, and so will the patients themselves.
In the afternoons, you’re free to explore the best of the region. Go on a wild elephant safari, tour beautiful local paddy fields, explore jungle river networks by canoe, and cool off with an evening swim in the nearby lake - an amazing way to take in a sunset.
