Tour Highlights

Temple of the Tooth Relic
At the heart of Kandy lies the Temple of the Tooth, where the sacred relic of the Buddha is enshrined. Its white walls, golden roofs, and ceremonial halls are alive with chants, offerings, and devotion. To enter is to witness living faith, where history and worship have intertwined for centuries.

City and Lake Walk
Kandy unfolds around a serene lake built by kings. Its waters mirror the hills, the temples, and the slow rhythm of daily life. Walking along its edges reveals both the colonial past in architecture and the timeless devotion in shrines tucked along the way. The city’s streets hum with the fragrance of spices, the sound of Kandyan drums, and the flow of people moving between old and new.

Tea Country Experience
Leaving the city, the road curves into the highlands where tea gardens paint the hills in green. At a working estate, you trace the journey of the leaf from plucking to brewing, guided by the hands and stories of those who shape Sri Lanka’s most iconic export. Sipping a cup of Ceylon tea amid the misty slopes is not only a refreshment but a communion with a tradition that has defined the island’s global identity.
