Traditional Curd-Making Experience at Kithala Resort Thissa-Yala
Go beyond the safari and immerse yourself in the rich culinary heritage of Sri Lanka’s southern plains. On this authentic cultural excursion, you will visit a traditional rural buffalo barn to witness the morning milking firsthand before joining a local farming family in their home. Here, you’ll observe the time-honored ritual of curd-making—from the precise 45-minute wood-fire boiling process to the overnight setting in unglazed clay pots. Your journey concludes with a delicious tasting of fresh, velvety buffalo curd perfectly paired with the sweet, caramel notes of local kithul palm treacle. It is a wonderful blend of local tradition, rich flavors, and community warmth.
