Meet traditional lotus flower pickers on the lake, guided by a local social anthropology expert. Paddle on the lake at sunrise or sunset, enjoying the wildlife and picking lotus by hand.

Learn what the lotus means to the major religion in Sri Lanka, Buddhism, and discover elements of the “Lotus-way-of-life.” After an emission-free lake tour, be guided by the anthropology expert to the nearest local temple for offering the freshly plucked lotus.

The primary meeting point would be Borala Lake-Weligama. You can carry a hat or cap and your camera. Make sure you wear light-colored clothes which cover your shoulders and knees.
