Loku and his family live in Sigiriya in the middle of Sri Lanka. They operate a little, beautiful homestay in Sigiriya. The house is newly renovated and has a beautiful backyard. Loku was working in the past in hotels in UAE and the Maldives and know how it works. His wife Mali is an excellent cooker and is also doing cooking classes in the homestay. I had the best Rice&Curry in whole Sri Lanka!!
The family is just beautiful and helped me a lot during my stay. Loku is very modern in his thinking and I took the chance and did a little Interview with him. We had a lot of fun :-)
