Culture Tour - Option II - Explore skills of local craftsmen (Winter) |
<p>Handicrafts are an integral part of the Sri Lankan culture. History mentions that crafting was limited to a section of people who were given royal patronage and were identified as people belonging to a specific caste. This type of segregation helped to give a unique identity to those industries over time. The same authentic procedures have been performed even today on making such handicrafts.</p><p>Sri Lanka being a country in the tropics, where many colourful faces of nature are omnipresent, is not out of place that many of these handicrafts are quite vibrant and dramatic.</p><p>This tour programme has carefully planned to experience the real taste of exciting and skilful craftsmanship of masks crafts, Beeralu lace crafts, batiks, jam mining, moonstone mining, Rukada Puppets, and toddy tapping.</p><p>Let’s explore the skills of local craftsmen!</p><p><b>You can edit and change this itinerary online as per your interest and need.

Culture Tour - Option III - Explore changing culture heritage (Winter) |
<p>Sri Lanka became a crown colony in1815 by the Kandyan conviction. Before that, Sri Lankan village culture was syndicated with the reservoir (Wewa), Stupa (Degeba), Village (Gama), and the Buddhist temple (Pansala) from ancient times. It was mainly centred on farming. The farmers greatly obey the traditions and the rituals related to the paddy field because they knew that nourishing their families to keep them alive solely depends on the field. Interpersonal relationships in a village by means of self-fulfilment of their needs within their village was the key to that culture. However, with the colonial influence, that system was changed into a paid labour system.</p><p>This tour programme has planned to give you the experience of ancient Sri Lankan culture and how it changing to the present.</p><p>Let’s enjoy the transformation of Sri Lankan culture!</p><p><b>You can edit and change this itinerary online as per your interest and need.
