A local taste of an ancient place

Description

DESCRIPTION

During the following days you will experience local life in rural Sri Lanka and the beautiful environment of Sigirya with its unique frescoes, friendly people and stunning nature.

You will stay at an eco-lodge or at a local family’s house. You can join in the daily activities of the villagers, like teaching English to the children, playing and chatting with them and telling them about your culture. They can show you unique places like the ancient Lions Rock, Dambulla temple and many other temples in the neighborhood. At night you can participate in preparing rich and authentic Sri Lankan food. This usually consists of a ‘main curry’ of fish, chicken, pork or mutton (typically goat), as well as several other curries made with vegetables, lentils and even fruit. As a side dish, we often prepare pickles, chutneys or sambols. The locals will love to show you how to prepare these dishes.
