Don’t skip the scenic train ride (Demodara- Hatton) - it lives up to the hype!
🌤️ WEATHER
The season in the South is from November-April, everything started to slow down in April and that’s when the rainy season begins, although it hasn’t been raining that much…
The East Coast starts picking up (for surfing at least) in May/June and lasts until October
You can still visit places like Arugam Bay anytime of year, just not for surfing..
🍴LOCAL FOOD TO TRY
Roti (I LOVE the veggie roti with potato and other veg inside - its got a triangle shape and can often be found at small shacks on the side of the road)
Hoppers (thin, bowl-shaped pancakes named for the pan that gives them their form) commonly eaten in the late afternoon
Kottu
Rice and Curry
