 Are Sri Lankans friendly/
Welcoming?
• You'll find that Sri Lankans are very
hospitable and take pride in
inviting people to their homes,
however modest they may be. So
don't be surprised if a driver or
guide, or indeed virtually anyone
encountered, requests the
pleasure of your company.
 Traditional Sri Lankan
food
The central feature of Sri Lankan
cuisine is boiled or steamed rice,
served with a curry of fish or meat,
along with other curries made with
vegetables, lentils, or fruits. Dishes
are accompanied by pickled fruits or
vegetables, chutneys, and sambols.
Sri Lanka is world famous for its
spicy food, exotic fruits, and an
array of sweetmeats found nowhere
in the world.
 What you can do in Sri Lanka?
One of the many appealing things about a holiday in Sri Lanka is the multitude of
wildly different experiences you can have in a short space of time.

• Want to learn to surf in the morning and be spotting leopards in a national park in
the afternoon? You can.

• Want to combine ancient pilgrimage sites, hill-country hiking and cooking lessons
at a spice farm in a single day? Totally possible.

You can cover every type of interest — from train trips to whale-watching — into one
jam-packed itinerary. Just be sure to leave time for the beach.
Beauty of Sri Lanka

Lanka have a unique charm to them and
offer up some incredible swimming,
fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing,
sunbathing, and whale watching.
