Lovely, genuine experience of Sri Lankan cooking - kind family, fresh ingredients, delicious meal!

I had a wonderful stay at Tea Pick View Homestay and took part in their newly launched culinary class — a truly memorable experience! Thakshila, the host and guide, had all the fresh ingredients prepared and walked me through each step of making a traditional Sri Lankan meal. The cooking process was engaging and fun, and the end result was a colorful, delicious dish. All of this while enjoying a stunning view of the tea fields at sunset. I highly recommend this class for anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Sri Lankan culture!
