Sri Lanka Food & Culture

Colombo, Sri Lanka

Private Tours

The easiest way to get inside a country’s culture is through its food. This 12-day food and culture tour of Sri Lanka does exactly that with UNESCO sites and cooking demonstrations adding to the heady mix of creamy coconut curries and the freshest of fresh Ceylon tea. Also, as you’ll be invited into several local family homes, you’ll get to see life away from the tourist hot spots. This is the best way to learn more about the language as well as discovering what it takes to cook food using authentic utensils and seasonal ingredients. Accompanied by a guide, you’ll get to know the street food stalls of the capital, Colombo, as well as the herbs and spices used in traditional Buddhist culinary art. From festival favourites and ceremonial alms giving to the ancient town of Polonnaruwa and the sacred citadel of Kandy; this tour combines cultural highlights with unique food experiences to create an authentic educational adventure.
