Overview

Experience the best of Kandy on this private, full-day tour. Start with a hotel pickup and head to Ambuluwawa Mountain, rising 3,567 ft (1,087 meters) above sea level. At the summit, explore the striking Ambuluwawa Tower, a white conical structure housing a Buddhist stupa. Climb its famous spiral staircase for breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, forests, and villages, and take time to wander through the Biodiversity Complex, home to a wide variety of plants.

Continue your journey by tuk-tuk to the Ceylon Tea Factory, where you’ll learn about Sri Lanka’s world-famous tea production. Visit the Royal Botanical Gardens to stroll through lush landscapes, then admire traditional craftsmanship at the Carving Family House. See the impressive Big Buddha Statue and the historic Asigiriya Stupa, an ancient temple recognized as an archaeological site.

Discover the sparkle of Sri Lanka’s treasures at the Gems Museum, enjoy stunning views of Kandy from the City Viewpoint, and witness a captivating Kandyan dance performance. The tour concludes with a visit to the sacred Temple of the Tooth, which houses a relic of Buddha’s tooth, before returning to your hotel.

This tour combines nature, culture, history, and tradition — perfect for first-time visitors and those seeking a comprehensive Kandy experience.
