About this experience
Travel from Colombo to Kandy in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with your English-speaking chauffeur guide at the wheel. Over 11 hours, you visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic — one of Sri Lanka's most revered Buddhist shrines — where the architecture and gilded interior speak to centuries of royal history. Entrance tickets for the temple and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya are included, along with a complimentary bottle of water per person.
At the Botanical Gardens, walk among one of Asia's finest collections of rare tropical flora. You also stop at local artisan workshops — gem crafters, woodcarvers, and batik makers — to watch skilled craftspeople at work and pick up handmade souvenirs to take home. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Colombo are included; food, drinks, and gratuities are not.
