Begin your culinary adventure with a pickup from your hotel or a central spot in Kandy. Head to the Kandy Central Market for a quick introduction to fresh produce, spices, and fruits. Sample tropical snacks like king coconut or fresh hoppers from a street vendor.
Next, enjoy a herbal and Ayurvedic spa treatment at Hanthana. Then, hop into a tuk-tuk and zip to the Bogambara area. Visit lesser-known stalls for kottu roti (chopped flatbread stir-fry) and watch it being made with the rhythmic chopping sounds.
Continue to Peradeniya Road and stop at roadside spots for spicy deviled dishes, vadai (lentil fritters), or string hoppers with curry. Learn about the Sinhalese and Tamil influences on local food.
Pause for a scenic photo op at Kandy Lake and enjoy a falooda (sweet milk drink) or wood apple juice from a lakeside vendor. End your tour on Devon Street with sweet treats like watalappam (coconut custard) or halapa (steamed sweets).
