What Makes the Sri Lanka Experience Unique?

Sri Lanka is all about discovering the world. Sri Lanka's blend of stunning beaches and rich cultural history makes it unique. One day, you can relax on the beach after a diving session, and the next, you could tour a traditional village as you learn local customs and ways of life.

The Sri Lankan experience also expresses itself through the flavors of its traditional cuisine. This colorful affair will bring you various curries and dishes such as Kottu Roti, a famous street food dish made from chopped flatbreads stir-fried with various ingredients, including vegetables, meat, and spices.

You’ll need plenty of food for days spent snorkeling, diving, swimming, and exploring the region's natural beauty.
