Begin your journey with a convenient pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Kandy in a clean, comfortable tuk-tuk. First, drive through scenic routes to the world-famous Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya.

Next, enjoy a local tuk-tuk ride to a traditional family-operated wood carving workshop. Meet local master artisans who have passed down hand-carving techniques through generations.
