Experience Sri Lanka!
If you have decided to make use of the many offers for cheap flights to Sri Lanka this holiday season, you are in for a sensory treat. This island nation has a rich history, and where you will find culture and colour in abundance. Here are a few experiences waiting for you here.
-- Ride a tuk tuk
A tuk tuk is a form of three wheeled public transport used widely throughout Sri Lanka. It consists of a small cabin which seats 3 passengers, and a seat in front for the driver. Tuk tuks are a very convenient way to travel around this small island, and the ride can be quite an adventure due to the notorious driving of tuk tuk drivers.
-- Frolic on the beach
The beaches of Sri Lanka are renowned for its clear waters and golden sand. You will find hotels to suit every budget situated on popular beaches around the country. Whilst there you can enjoy buffet meals three times a day, go on a boat ride to check out the sea life, snorkel, or just relax and sunbathe on the beach. Getting here is not a hassle either, with a direct flight to Sri Lanka operating every day from the UK.
-- Eat kotthu roti
This is a ragingly popular local dish that is quintessentially Sri Lankan. Small pieces of roti or flatbread, roasted chicken, mixed vegetables and egg are mixed together on a hot griddle with metal blades to create this delicious street dish. If you fancy trying some, just follow the distinct rhythmic sounds of the blades hitting the griddle which can be heard coming from most roadside restaurants.
-- Drink tea
Sri Lanka is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of tea. €Ceylon tea' is highly regarded for its quality all over the world, so have a cuppa in the country of its origin. You will find tea in every restaurant in the island, or for a gourmet experience, you can visit speciality tea houses that are peppered nationwide and take your pick from the multitude of flavours available.
-- Shop till you drop
Due to exchange rates of the Great British pound to the Sri Lankan rupee being quite high, you will be able to snap up plenty of bargains shopping here. Visit the main market town of Pettah in the capital city for everything from fresh foods to clothing, or head to one of the shopping centres for a more relaxing, air conditioned shopping experience.
