The Undiscovered North & East
A comprehensive tour of Sri Lanka's North taking in The Jaffna Peninsula, Wilpattu National Park and beach time in Trincomalee.
Explore Jaffna’s culinary culture and meet local people who uphold traditional practices to immerse yourself in the region’s rich culture and flavours.
Begin your journey by witnessing the traditional process of sesame oil extraction. Seeds are sun-dried and then crushed by wooden presses - an age-old method that preserves the seeds’ flavour and nutrients.
Next, visit a family-run pottery site and learn how to craft your unique piece using centuries-old techniques passed down through generations. Your friendly hosts will guide you through the process before drying and firing it, ready to use for a communal lunch using your extracted sesame oil and brand-new, crafted pottery.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
