Top tips for Geneva to Colombo
Savour Sri Lankan flavours
Swap longeole in Geneva for kottu roti in Colombo. With influences from South Indian, Indonesian and Dutch cuisine, you’ll find the traditional dishes of Sri Lanka are rarely anything other than delicious. Kottu roti blends chopped flatbread with chicken, vegetables and plenty of spices. For breakfast, grab an egg hopper (a bowl-shaped crepe with a soft boiled egg in the centre) or enjoy a creamy and rich parippu (dhal curry) for dinner.
Seek out Sri Lankan sands
An hour’s car journey from the city will take you to scenic Negombo, regarded as one of Colombo’s finest beaches. Relax on the soft sands and watch fishermen use traditional methods to get the catch of the day, or perhaps explore the 17th-century Dutch Fort. If you’re used to hitting the slopes of Geneva’s ski resorts, try your hand at kite surfing on the Laccadive Sea.
