Culinary Tourism
At Oruthota Chalets we offer "Tourism with a Difference"!! Taking into advantage the picturesque tranquillity that surrounds the Resort, we offer activities with a difference. Our objective is for our guests to leave Sri Lanka with lasting memories of a different touristic nature. We strongly encourage our guests to blend into the culture and experience a typical Allocentric-type of vacation, as compared to the common Psychocentric-type of travellers. Oruthota Chalets boasts of a 5 acre landscape surrounded with magnificent scenery as well as a waterfront setting during particular months of the year. Our open restaurant creates the right ambiance to offer our valuable guests a bit of culinary tourism. We suggest that just one hour be set apart from their busy schedule to learn to prepare a typical Sri Lankan dish of their choice. It will be ideal to choose a local product that is available in their home country, so that this experience could be repeated, enjoyed and shared with their families, friends and loved ones. Thus spreading our experience to others, who might be inspired to visit our beautiful island, Sri Lanka. Cookery demonstrations are a very popular activity at Oruthota Chalets. It is now a popular request from leading International schools in Sri Lanka who make their annual trip to our Resort. Our dedicated Staff is always prepared to demonstrate a simple dish to interested guests on request, even on short notice.
A Feel to Typical Rural Activities: Weaving of Coconut Palms
Most roofs of rural homes are thatched with coconut palms. In certain areas of the country rural folk would even build their entire homes with thatched coconut palms, it is very common in fishing areas. It is an interesting weave that is done on the fresh (green) leaves, and serves as a cover to roofs and walls of homes. Visitors enjoy trying out this activity. This can be a morning program after breakfast, in the large garden area of Oruthota Chalets, visitors will be taught how to weave a coconut palm. Individual attention will be given to every visitor until they get familiar with this art. This is a wonderful experience and memory to take back home.
Trek to the Knuckles Mountain Range
With an overnight camp (optional). Knuckles Mountain Range received its UNESCO World Heritage Site Inscription in 2010, and is a popular eco-tourism venue. It has also been declared as a conservation area, and known as the Knuckles National Heritage and Wilderness area. This is a "must visit" location for nature lovers and the adventurous tourist.
