Meet a local in Sri Lanka
Personal Encounters while travelling
Our Meet-a-Local activitites are especially recommended. Visit local people to share a cup of tea or even cook a meal together. You visit people in their private homes, see how they live, share their traditions, and exchange information and ideas. Or just have fun together! Eating and cooking together is one thing, but there's even more!
Take a walk through the city and see it through the eyes of a local, get to places you thought you never could visit, meet people, and smell and taste the local food during one of our street food tours.
All these meet-a-local activities are meant to give you a once-in a-lifetime experience!
Some meet-a-local activities might already be included in the tours. Missing something? You can request our local partner for more information!
