Choose your hotel level

Each level remains a complete package. Only the accommodation standard, vehicle level, meal plan and experience detail change.

Culinary planning: The culinary itinerary combines markets, produce, tea/spice stories and regional Sri Lankan food. Specific cooking classes, hosted village meals, guided food walks, farm visits and chef experiences are used only after the local supplier confirms the date, menu and operating arrangements.

What the price includes: The public package price includes only the hotel's confirmed meal plan unless the final quotation explicitly lists an additional culinary experience. Restaurant meals, market tastings, cooking-class ingredients, seafood meals and specialist food guides are therefore separate unless specifically bundled.

Dietary planning: Vegetarian, vegan, halal, Jain and no-onion/no-garlic requests can be planned in advance. Ingredients to avoid should be stated before confirmation. Trustker does not promise a specialist dietary standard at a particular kitchen until that hotel, restaurant or culinary supplier confirms it.

Markets & seafood: Fish, produce and public-market visits depend on opening hours, local trading conditions and hygiene/comfort considerations. Raw-food tasting is never compulsory, and seafood/catch selections can change by day and season.

Jaffna cuisine: Jaffna's food focus is presented as a regional Tamil culinary experience—markets, spices, crab/seafood or vegetarian dishes depending on guest preference and supplier availability. No particular crab, seafood or restaurant is guaranteed by the base package.
