Bullock Cart Riding

Bullock carts, once the main form of transport in Sri Lanka, are still used in some villages. Tourists can enjoy short rides in these wooden carts pulled by oxen, usually along rice fields, village paths, or lakesides. It’s a slow, relaxing journey that gives a glimpse of how locals used to travel in the past. This is a great family activity and popular in cultural villages like Habarana, Sigiriya, and Polonnaruwa.
