Nilu and Janaka were wonderful hosts, and this experience was one of our favourite in Sri Lanka. From an easy hotel pick up, insight into everyday Sri Lankan life and of course new skills learnt and delicious food - this experience had it all. They were even able to cater to dietary requirements including coeliac (gluten free). We recommend this to all who travel to Kandy!! Thank you Janaka and Nilu!

Such a wonderful experience! The pickup by Nilus husband went smoothly and the drive to the location was filled with interesting consversations about Sri Lanka. His English is excellent! The location is super cozy and in the middle of peaceful nature. The Two made sure we feel comfortable and explained the cooking process in detail while answering all our questions. We were really happy we booked this course and it was one of our best experiences in Sri Lanka! :)
