About this experience

Board your private car in Negombo and head into Sri Lanka's hill country for this two-day tour. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide drives you up through tea estates and evergreen valleys to Kandy, where you step inside the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic — a UNESCO World Heritage site — and learn about its centuries of history. Overnight in the hills sets you up for an early start the next day.

On day two, you lace up for Horton Plains National Park, where montane grasslands and cloud forest give way to the dramatic cliff edge of World's End, perched thousands of metres above the Sri Lankan plains. Stop at Baker's Falls before continuing to Nuwara Eliya, the compact colonial-era town the British once called 'Little England'. Transport throughout is in a private vehicle, with all chauffeur costs, fuel, parking, and highway tolls covered. Entrance fees, meals, and accommodation are arranged separately.

Day 1 — Negombo > Kandy > Nuwara Eliya

Visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic a UNESCO World Heritage Site which was built in the 16th century as the place of veneration and protection for Lord Buddha’s sacred tooth. Walk through the beautifully embellished passageways and elaborately painted halls, done in red, cream and black. Lounge against delicately carved pillars and get amazed by the beautiful golden statues. Get an unforgettable experience of history and art.

Tea Factory and a plantation where you would see how the world’s famous “Ceylon Tea” is manufactured. In 1824 a tea plant was brought to Ceylon by the British from China and was planted in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya for non- commercial purposes. James Taylor was a British citizen who introduced commercial tea plantation in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). He arrived to Sri Lanka in 1852 and settled down in Loolecondera estate in Kandy. Today even people who have never heard of Sri Lanka are familiar with Ceylon tea, which is known for its quality.

Give it a miss!
Extremely overpriced at $170 AUD. The course is average at best with tee shots over roads and right next to main streets in town! The fairways hadn’t been mowed and the greens were terrible. You have a caddy to carry…
