Exclusive Luxury Holidays to Sri Lanka

While Vesak is technically a religious festival, everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy the celebrations. The native Sri Lankan people are a welcoming bunch and as such are happy to share their customs with tourists, as long as they show respect. During Vesak, the people of Sri Lanka decorate the interior and exteriors of their homes with colourful bamboo lanterns. In fact, even hotels such as the Jetwing Lighthouse and the Fortress Hotel participate in the celebration. It is reminiscent of Christmas lights during the winter holidays in the west.
