India & Sri Lanka food tours

Discover the spice-filled splendour of Indian and Sri Lankan food

Inspired by dozens of ethnic subcultures, the flavours of Indian and Sri Lankan cuisine are as rich as the histories that have influenced them. From the dizzying streets of Delhi to the majestic palaces of Udaipur, and the lush countryside of Kandy to the sandy shores of Mirissa, our itineraries are packed with authentic experiences that will delight and surprise even the most seasoned tastebuds. Taste fresh aloo paratha, tamarind chutney, chaat from roadside snack vendors, home-cooked Rajasthan curry and Sri Lankan tea picked straight from the plantation. You’ll never look at curry in the same way again.

Explore the flavours of India. Be Open. Be Intrepid.

India & Sri Lanka food highlights

Why choose us

Real, authentic experiences

We love the highlights, but for us the real magic is found off the tourist trails. Our trips combine iconic sites with hidden gems that you’ll only discover with Intrepid. We’re talking mornings exploring the Taj Mahal, followed by a Mughlai cooking class with a passionate home cook.

Local expertise

Whether you’re perusing markets, hunting down the best street food bites or learning how to cook centuries-old family recipes at a homestay, there’s no better way to get the inside scoop on a destination – and its culinary traditions – than with an expert local leader by your side.

Small groups

Big coaches and flag-toting tour guides don’t cut it for us. With a maximum group size of 12, our groups blend in with the locals and have plenty of opportunities to interact with chefs, street food vendors and group leaders. It also means you can really connect with your fellow foodies.

Everything was like I hoped it would be. The home-cooked meals were amazing and our group leader showed us a lot of things to see and food to try. Bring clothes a size bigger. You will need it at the end of this trip.
