Step into the warm heart of rural Sri Lanka with a hands-on cooking and cultural exchange experience. Set in a traditional village home, this tour invites you to grind spices, stir clay pots, and share a meal with local hosts. More than just food, it’s about connection, conversation, and community.
Prepare a full Sri Lankan meal using time-honoured techniques. From pounding coconut sambol to tempering curry leaves in a clay pot, every step is guided by the home cook herself.
Pick your own herbs and vegetables from a backyard garden. Learn about local plants and spices that define island cuisine.
Get the chance to photograph elephants at close yet respectful range. Calves nuzzle their mothers, bulls size each other up, and the golden light reflects off grey hides and rippling water.
Depending on the region, you may witness daily rituals, local crafts, or traditional music, offering an even deeper connection to life in the village.
