Delicious food on a Sri Lankan tour
Tropical fruits such as papaw, banana, watermelon, mango, and pineapples are often served for breakfast along with a ‘hopper’ (bowl-shaped pancake). A freshly brewed tea is not to miss! Lunch usually includes an authentic Lankan rice and curry spread with a choice of meat, dhal, a few vegetables and a green. Dinner menu includes dishes such as kottu rotti, string hoppers and hoppers. The local cuisine is not just delicious but also pocket-friendly and a must-try for everyone on a Sri Lankan tour.
Ideal waves for surfing
Being one of the higher latitude surf zones in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka’s coastal areas often have small and clean waves. An average height of 2-6 feet waves is seen off-shore during the dry peak season. The quiet periods also exhibit glassy surfing conditions along popular coasts of Sri Lanka.
Due to its diverse landscapes and rich culture, Sri Lanka has an itinerary suitable for the preferences of every traveler in terms of taste and budget.
