Eating out in Sri Lanka
In contrast to the traditional curries of neighbouring India, Sri Lanka is known for its curry sauce made from coconut milk infused with chillies, cardamom, turmeric, lemongrass, and pandan leaves. You can enjoy authentic Sri Lankan cuisine in many of the top eateries on the island, including Upali’s by Nawaloka, a famous restaurant in Colombo. This venue is known for its flavourful curry dishes, hoppers, and other local, authentic specialities.
As you may expect from an island nation in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka offers an incredible variety of fresh seafood. There are several excellent restaurants in Colombo and along the coast that provide their special take on shellfish, including the Ministry of Crab in Colombo, known for its fresh crustaceans cooked to perfection.
Sights to see in Sri Lanka
Holidays in Sri Lanka allow you to cram in days of animal encounters, tours of tea estates, and visits to some of Asia's most amazing shrines and old sites. If you’re worrying about how to plan your trip, Sri Lanka tours are a great option for ensuring you see the must-see spots on your priority list.
Peeking out over the jungle canopy and providing a sight of the kingdom of Kassapa, the mountain of Sigiriya is Sri Lanka's most famous landmark. It features royal resting chambers and a majestic set of carved lion paws marking the beginning of its steep steps.
Another iconic tourist spot in Sri Lanka is the Sri Maha Bodhi tree, located in Anuradhapura, a popular city break holiday location. It is thought to have grown from a cutting taken from the tree beneath which the Buddha obtained enlightenment in Bodhgaya, India.
You may also want to visit Ella, a charming town in the Badulla District of Uva Province, Sri Lanka. It is well-known for its hiking routes, providing breathtaking views of the surroundings. Hiking to Little Adam's Peak, touring the Dhowa shrine, and taking in the picturesque train ride from Kandy to Ella are among the activities available to visitors. Additionally, the Nine Arch Bridge, another must-see spot on your holiday in Sri Lanka, is situated in Demodara, a small village in Sri Lanka's hill region.
