Fishing on the lake

We enjoyed a morning fishing on the lake. The fisherman provided a ride from our hotel, ambesawana resort as well as rods and we went out on his small catamaran. It’s very relaxing and as well as fishing it was great watching the wildlife on the shore. We were a couple but it would be fun for families. Very reasonably priced.

    Wonderful Village Tour
    If you are staying at a hotel nearby especially the Habarana Village this tour is a must. You are taken to a local village by jeep where you will see typical village houses and take a short walk to the lake. Here you embark on what is two canoes tied together with seats. The lake early morning is beautiful. We saw many types of duck, heron, egret, fish, three types of eagle, kites, kingfishers, monkeys, squirrels. You the disembark to see a farm and the farmers tree house and enjoy a coconut freshly cut from his trees. Back on the boat a short ride to meet carts pulled by oxen that return you via paddy fields to the jeep that returns you to your hotel. About 2 hours in length you won’t regret it. Don’t forget to put the mosquito spray on and u will need the suntan cream.

    Drought..
    We were sadden to see the Habarana lake just with a small patch of water last month because of the drought. Heard that elephants visit this patch around 4-5 in the evening in large groups.
