The experience
What you'll do
For centuries the Vedda people have collected wild honey using techniques passed from father to son. Walk into the jungle with them, watch the collection up close (protective face covers provided), then round out the day with bow-and-arrow shooting, the Kiri Koraha dance, the Vedda village museum and fire-lighting with Kahanda stones. You leave with your own bottle of wild honey.
