Join a local family in Habaraduwa for an immersive experience in Sri Lankan culture. Share a meal, learn to cook, and play a local game. Enjoy a village tour, meet a parrot, and learn the basics of the Sinhala language.

Start with a relaxing afternoon tea, accompanied by a traditional Sri Lankan snack that you’ll help prepare. Get hands-on and learn the techniques that make these flavours so special.

Watch as “Mama” prepares an incredible, home-cooked rice and curry meal. Join her in the kitchen and witness the preparation of some of Sri Lanka’s most beloved dishes.

Dive into the spices that bring Sri Lankan cuisine to life. Smell, touch, and learn about the rich spices used in Sri Lankan cooking.

Enjoy a fresh coconut straight from the palm tree. Learn some basics of Sinhala, one of Sri Lanka’s national languages, so you can greet locals and say a few phrases with confidence.

Take a tour of the family home and learn about village life. Meet the youngest member of the family, Minidu, who will introduce you to his parrot and pigeons.
