Situated in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka has a history of over 2000 years. It is a multi-ethnic nation. European influence is another feature of Sri Lanka’s culture as the country had been colonised in the past by the Portuguese, Dutch and British.
Sri Lankan Cuisine
If you are planning to travel the country with the help of NKAR Travel House or any other tour agency offering Sri Lanka tour packages, make sure to leave time in your itinerary to visit some local restaurants. Local cooking classes would be a great idea because the use of Sri Lankan spices can make every local dish a mouth-watering experience. Although Sri Lanka is known for its extensive range of seafood, the country is also a haven for vegans because of the abundance of vegetables available.
Sri Lankan Tea
Sri Lanka is famous for its tea, which is grown in the central highlands of the country. The tea is known for its unique taste and aroma, and is exported all over the world. In fact, Sri Lanka is the world’s fourth-largest tea producer and its tea industry is a major contributor to the country’s economy.
Arts and Craft
Sri Lanka’s art can be traced back to the times of kings, as historical cave and temple paintings can be found around the country.
Ayurvedic (Indigenous) Medicine
Behind this medicine lies a wealth of ancient knowledge passed down through generations. Ayurvedic centers dot the country, offering the chance to experience a time-honored healing tradition. However, it’s important to ensure your safety by visiting government-approved establishments that meet high standards of quality and authenticity.
