Arrive at the airport

Your Silver Chain Lanka Tours concierge meets you on arrival and transfers you to your Colombo hotel, approx. one hour from Bandaranaike International Airport.

Evening street-food and history walk through Colombo

Colombo blends cultures, faiths, and appetites into one of South Asia's liveliest street-food scenes. On foot with your guide, trace the story of the city from Pettah's merchant lanes, snack stalls near the Red Mosque, to the Fort's colonial façades, ending at Galle Face Green where families gather at dusk. Tastings may include achcharu (spiced fruit pickle), Bombay sweets, Sri Lankan short eats, murukku, and the rhythmic clatter of kottu roti being chopped on a hot griddle.
