Exploring the rural villages around Matale by tuk tuk.
3 Answers from travellers
Yes, hiring a tuk tuk driver for a half day tour is an incredible way to explore the rural beauty of Matale. The drivers know exactly which narrow, scenic dirt roads lead through the best spice plantations and terraced rice paddies.
The villagers are incredibly welcoming. Cruising slowly in an open air tuk tuk allows you to wave at locals, smell the fresh cinnamon in the air, and truly experience the slow pace of rural Sri Lankan life.
It usually costs around 3000 to 4500 LKR for a few hours. Ask your driver to take you off the main highway and towards the foothills of the Knuckles range for the most breathtaking, untouched landscapes.
