5 unique Sri Lanka Experiences which one will you choose?

To celebrate Indus Experiences’ 25th anniversary, we are offering a complimentary, unique in-country experience to all customers, by way of thanks for your support. We can now reveal an enticing selection of five special experiences from Sri Lanka. Please choose one of these, with our compliments, on confirming your holiday booking (View our Sri Lanka Itineraries here). An early morning city market tour, a street food feast for all the senses, a rural cycle ride and fishing trip, or even an exhilarating Vespa scooter tour - the choice is yours!

Location: Colombo

Tuk Tuk Colombo City Safari

Excursion Duration: 4 hrs

The quickest, most fun way to see Colombo is by racing down the streets in a Tuk Tuk. The City Safari will take you to some of the hottest seasonal attractions and sights while you cruise down bustling streets of Colonial Colombo. Afterwards, it’s time to stop for a bite to eat from the best of the local street vendors, before experiencing more of the wonderful sights, sounds and foods while absorbing the friendly atmosphere that exists throughout Colombo.

Location: Galle

Magic & Mystery of the Galle Fort with Shanjei 

Excursion Duration: 2.5 hrs

The Galle Fort is a visual metaphor for Sri Lankan history. Ancient Sri Lankan culture collides with colonial architecture in ways that can only be described as mystical. The session covers colonial history, its effect on our Sri Lankan people, the comedy that surrounds colonization, a trip into the museum of the biggest antique collector in the fort, a brief brush with craft and trade and all this ends with the perfect cup of Sri Lankan Tea presented by Fort’s most ardent tea maker. Your host will tell you about the little nooks and crannies that make Galle Fort less a fort and more a home for its many residents about the many cultures that mingle seamlessly within the fort’s confines. Be prepared for you tour to be interactive and fun with decidedly less history and a lot more story.

Location: Tissamaharama or Yala

Village Cycle Tour to experience Buffalo Curd Making 

Excursion Duration: 1.5 hrs

Take a cycle ride to a local home in a rural village and learn the secrets of making authentic buffalo milk curd from the true experts. You can even participate in the process and enjoy the freshly made curd with some sweet kithul treacle for dessert!

 

Location: Kandy

Excursion Duration: 2 hrs

Discover a taste of local cuisine influenced by the different cultures in Kandy. Walk the streets of Kandy on this 2 hour trail taking in the colonial buildings and historic landmarks of the city.
