Beschreibung
Discover Kandy's top heritage sites and the birthplace of Ceylon Tea. Visit the Temple of the Tooth, tour Kandy Lake, and explore Kandy UNESCO City Highlights with Driver Guided Day Tour.
Discover the cultural heart of Sri Lanka and the origins of its world-famous tea industry on a full-day guided tour. Begin with a seamless hotel pickup in Kandy accompanied by your dedicated driver-guide. Head directly to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), a UNESCO World Heritage site housing the sacred tooth of the Buddha.
After exploring the temple complex and taking in the detailed wood and stone carvings, walk along scenic Kandy Lake and stop at the Kandy City Viewpoint for panoramic photographs. Continue your city tour with visits to surrounding historical highlights, including iconic hill temples such as Lankatilaka or Embekke—famous for intricate wood craftsmanship—and local artisan workshops.
Next, leave the city center behind and embark on a scenic drive toward Loolkandura Estate in Delthota. Loolkandura is historically significant as Sri Lanka’s very first commercial tea plantation, established by James Taylor in 1867. Walk through rolling green tea fields, visit the ruins of James Taylor’s stone cottage, see his original seat on the rock, and view the historic tea tree planted during the estate's founding days.
Conclude your excursion at the factory site to observe traditional leaf processing and sample fresh Ceylon tea before returning safely to your hotel in Kandy.
