OUR Community-Based Food Tours - Concept
Discover Sri Lanka's Heart Through Its Flavours:
The families involved in our CBT (Community-Based Tourism) food safaris
pride themselves on using no artificial ingredients.
They provide just pure, heartfelt preparation.
With simple, natural seasonings like salt, pepper, lemon, and locally sourced spices,
their traditional cooking techniques bring out the rich, authentic taste of Sri Lankan culture.
Traditional cooking methods used by your hosts include:
- Cooking over firewood for a unique smoky aroma
- Using locally crafted pans for authenticity
- Traditional coconut grinding for fresh flavor
- Precise knife work, skillfully done by hand rather than on chopping boards
Every meal is a journey into Sri Lanka's time-honored culinary heritage.

Why Do We Offer So Many Food Tours Across Sri Lanka?
We partner with communities across the island,
carefully selecting families to host these unique experiences.
Each host has been guided to prepare and serve delicious meals using the freshest, locally sourced ingredients.
From the fishing nets to the cooking pots, every part of your meal’s journey supports local livelihoods,
not just the family welcoming you in their private house.

Supporting Communities, Not Just Your Host Family
At Lanka Excursions Holidays, our passion for food extends beyond taste — it’s about making meaningful connections.
Our food tours showcase Sri Lanka's rich culinary traditions while directly supporting entire communities.
A Village-Wide Effort
Each plate tells the story of collaboration within a community. For instance:
- Prawns, crabs, and cuttlefish come from different fishermen within the same village.
- Vegetables and other ingredients are supplied by local farmers.
Suppliers are paid the full market price directly, with no intermediaries involved.
This approach ensures that every family contributing to your meal earns a sustainable income,
making your visit impactful for the entire community.

A Warm Welcome Awaits
Our selected hosts may have limited English — often just enough to say “hello” and “thank you” — but
their genuine hospitality speaks volumes.
Guests quickly learn to communicate through smiles, gestures, and the universal language of food.

More Than a Meal - Cultivating Relationships
Our food tours are part of a greater mission: to empower underprivileged families
By joining us, you’re not only savouring Sri Lanka’s culinary treasures
but also contributing to the sustainability of its rural communities
and helping them build delightful connections with the wider world.
When you enjoy a variety of seafood or traditional dishes during our tours,
you’re not just savouring delicious flavors -
you’re supporting multiple families and celebrating their unique skills.
