FOOD

On this tour there will be a huge variety of food available to guests. At almost all hotels there will be a choice of western and local foods therefore there should be good opportunities to explore the local cuisine from time to time. A warning should be put in place that Sri Lankan’s like their food hot (spicy) and it could be said that it’s the hottest of all the Asian destinations, Phew!!!

The staple diet in Sri Lanka is rice. It is eaten with curry and a variety of chutneys, pickles and sambals. The rice may be boiled and served with curries or it may be cooked with spices and in coconut milk, as 'yellow' rice. It is also baked in meat stock as a Biriyani. Meats, seafood and vegetables are cooked as a curry with a base of coconut milk.

We accommodate vegetarians, but please let us know in advance.
