The last capital of a pre-colonial Sri Lankan kingdom is a must-visit. Not only is Kandy home to the magnificent Temple of the Tooth Relic but it's also a city of tree-lined streets crammed with hawkers, tuk-tuks, and vintage buses. You'll also visit a spice garden, a tea plantation, and botanical gardens.

It's almost non-stop action on this immersive tour. As you make your way through the central highlands, you'll stop at a fragrant spice garden in Mawanella and a tea plantation and factory – for a proper cuppa of Ceylon tea – in Giragama. The sight of undulating hills covered in row after row of tea plants is one of the most emblematic images of Sri Lanka.

You'll also go on a city tour of Kandy, visiting the Tooth Relic temple – a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's home to a relic of Buddha's tooth – and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, which are home to more than 4,000 species of plants. To make the day extra special, a traditional lunch is included.
