We made our way down to Tangalle specifically to visit this small gallery. The artist is incredibly friendly and talented. He has been recognized within Sri Lanka and has won an international award. His shop was affected by the 2004 Tsunami; he lost 160 paintings. You can see several paintings hanging in the gallery that were recovered after the disaster. We bought two paintings that we felt epitomized our trip to Sri Lanka. Definitely worth a visit if you're in you're in the area.
4. Ashram Sri Lanka - Sri Lanka itinerary
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 47 reviews
At Ashram Sri Lanka, our tranquil retreat is more in-line with the Ashrams of the past. We offer simplicity. We offer a clean and peaceful space. Our Ashram is nestled in a beautiful environment, surrounded by nature in all its magnificence, with fields of greenery and flowers that envelop the senses. We share in nature’s space. We nurture our environment and show it compassion. We believe that our oneness with ourselves and our shared environment ultimately connects to the larger universe and beyond. A retreat with us will provide you with the time and space you need for introspection, reflection, contemplation and meditation. The ultimate aim of meditation is to seek freedom from the wheel of ‘sansara’ – the cycle of birth and death. Even though it is a difficult task, it can be obtained through effort and dedication. And if one aspires to achieve spiritual growth and its benefits through serious meditation Ashram Sir Lanka is the place for you.

I had misgivings about booking a tour guide and driver for 20 days, but Sam's outstanding feedback here, and his very reasonable price tipped the balance. I'm happy to say it was a good decision. Sam has a thorough knowledge of great places to visit, and was always ready to adapt plans to suit us. He is also a very interesting person who makes new friends constantly, and who dedicates much effort and money to providing drinking water filters to disadvantaged families. At one point my wife said that I should try to find a Sam in each country we visit, but of course he is a one-off. Sam likes to show Sri Lanka as it is, and how the local people live. So lunch would often be typical Sri Lankan food in a roadside cafe (often rice and curry sauces) eaten with the fingers of the right hand. Unfortunately our stay at the Ashram was spoiled by the booming base sound coming from a three-day party in the local village. But Sam was quite willing to cut short our stay and move on. The Ashram is a place for chilling out and winding down, not suitable if your looking for action. Sri Lanka is a beautiful island with so many things to see and do. With hindsight, we would have liked more than two nights in Eliya, and would probably give Colombo a miss. Thank you to Sam for helping us fall in love with Sri Lanka.

So this was my first time using this service. I was quarantined at the Eden Resort in Beruwala and needed to get back home in Dehiwala. With all the rules and the details that needed to be shared i couldn't use my usual on demand hires. I found Ruwan via Google and honestly never regretted once. Will easily recommend his services to anyone He was very polite and made sure i knew everything I was getting into by using his services. The driver Tharaka also gets an honorable mention for his great hospitality

We are a mother and daughter running cooking classes ten minutes from the beach in Unawatuna. With a breezy, open kitchen overlooking the jungle where you can see monkeys, peacocks and many birds. First we take you to the market to select the freshest fish and vegetables for cooking. Then we will show you how to prepare them using delicious Sri Lankan spices and cooking in traditional clay pots.

Sea waves - Cooking Class We arrived at 10am - there were 6 of us and we were taken by 3 Tuktuks to the fish market just outside Galle fort - the fish are so fresh and well presented on their stalls - such a choice. Sosanti bought some tuna. we then moved on by our Tuk Tuk along a bustling street to the vegetable market. This was in an old building built by the Dutch (I think as a market place) - amazingly well preserved and a perfect covered yet open area for a market. Sosanti showed us loads of different vegetables that we’d never come across before - snake gourd, Bitter gourd Long Beans. She showed us what the fiberoot looked like when cut. We tried some strange fruits including red bananas- which we had to admit tasted very similar to the bananas we eat in the UK. Having bought the long beans, sweet potato, okra, aubergine and banana flowers we returned to Sea Waves in our Tuk Tuks. We were each given an apron, told to wash our hands then were set to work. Firstly Sosanti cut open a coconut- which if you strike it correctly will neatly split in half. We each drank its milk then She showed us how to shred the white flesh. Once all shredded and tasted, it was put in a blender with water and blended. This mixture was then sei Ed and the coconut pulp squeezed out. The coconut pulp was then returned to the blender with more water and the process was repeated ant this time the coconut pulp was finished with. Now we prepared the vegetables: Peeled and chopped sweet potatoes Peeled and Sliced 2 whole bulbs of garlic Chopped small red onions Chopped small slim aubergines Chopped okra We snapped the beans into I inch lengths All along things were being cooked On the fire The rice was cooked and she showed us how much water to add Each dish was chopped into a dish and the spices were added : cinnamon sticks, lemongrass, curry leaves, Unroasted, roasted and black curry powder Turmeric mustard powder and a few others Sosanti fried popadoms and put the tuna dish together but we were each involved in the veggie dishes. My favourite was the fried aubergine with Red onion and tomato salad - delicious It was all delicious and a really fun way to spend a morning We finished the event by eating the dishes - all wonderful. She let us copy the recipes to make them ourselves back home - which we are doing.
