It’s Time to Explore

Since you’ll probably be starting this excellent journey in the nation’s biggest city, get yourself a Colombo car rental and hit the ground rolling. You’re going to want to get yourself acquainted with the culture, so make your way over to the National Museum of Colombo. The place has collections covering everything from the early Anuradhapura period to arms and armaments.

Once you learn everything there is to know about this incredible nation, head to the Galle Face Green, because holidays to Sri Lanka are nothing without visiting this place. This half-kilometre park borders the ocean, and it’s where you can mingle with the locals, stretch out on the beach, buy weird souvenirs and eat great street food.

In the introduction, we talked about how you can come face to face with elephants, and you probably thought we were full of…you know. But we are not. Cruise over to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage and see these giants up close. You’ll be able to observe the beasts in their natural habitat and even have the chance to feed them by hand. You know they eat more than just peanuts, right?

Time to Grind

We know we talked about eating the hottest curry dish known to man, but you don’t have to go quite that crazy. You should definitely enjoy a few of these curry dishes during Sri Lanka holidays—how spicy you want themis up to you.

• Devilled Sweet and Sour Fish Curry – This might be the greatest thing you eat during your entire holiday trip. It’s deep-fried fish smothered in a sweet and savoury chili sauce, stir-fried with onions and banana peppers with a side of flatbread. Hold on, we’re going to go eat real quick.
• Young Jackfruit Curry – Jackfruit is a species of fig that tastes unbelievable. And it tastes extra special when it’s mixed up in a dark curry sauce and served with a side of rice.
• Kottu Roti – This Sri Lankan favourite blends eggs, spices, a variety of meat and Godhamba roti to make a delicious dish. What is roti, anyway? It’s a flatbread type thing that is very popular throughout Southeast Asia.

Stop daydreaming about going to Sri Lanka and make it a reality. Book one of Wotif’s Sri Lanka packages or Colombo packages and we’ll accept a thank-you when you get back.
