Holiday Highlights

Kandy Tours by TukTuk Three Wheeler or Rickshaw - Included in the price
Kandy is a place, unlike most others. Its uniqueness is defined by its landscape. Surrounding it are hills, mountains and rivers, all of which provided natural ramparts and protection from attempted conquering. It is at the lake you will meet your host, who will first take you on a short walk around the lake and up to a colonial remnant of history, Garrison cemetery. Here you will see names of influential people in Kandy’s history, and learn of how the British played a vital if controversial role in its formation. On your way to the tuktuk, you will pass through the grounds of the temple of the tooth, a place sure to visit during your stay in the city. From here you will travel by tuktuk up high and discover the hills and views that overlook the city. Learn of historic tales whilst sat underneath a giant Buddha, and marvel at the vista which literally takes the breath away. To end your trip, you will visit Helga’s Folly, an unusual hotel perched above the city. Here you will refresh yourself and learn about Helga herself, and all of the A-list Hollywood guests she has hosted over the years.

Colombo Tours by TukTuk – Included in the price
Meet your host at independence square, an historic backdrop to begin the experience. From here you will travel by TukTuk through winding streets that reflect both the bustling city that exists today and its colonial heritage. Reflect in the gloriously colourfulGangaramaya temple and marvel at the granite structure of Sri PonnambalaVanneswarar Temple. It is here you will learn about the influence of Buddhism and Hinduism continue to have on one another long after their inception in Sri Lanka. After you travel through some of modern day Colombo you will reach Pettah. Your knowledgable guide will walk you through the bustling streets of this merchant city developed over time since 1656. By far the most stunning landmark in this area is Jami Ul-Alfar, a red and white brick mosque built in 1909. Marvel at its detailing before you hit a side road out of the hustle of Pettah to refresh yourself in a colonial hotel. It is from here you will travel a short distance to climb to a viewpoint unparalleled in the city. A 360 degree view awaits you. From port and sea to city views, take your time to drink in an often overlooked and under appreciated Colombo.

Descriptions of places

Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage
The Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is situated northwest of the town of Kegalle, halfway between the present capital Colombo and the ancient royal residence Kandy. It was established in 1975 by the Sri Lanka Wildlife Department in a 25 acre coconut property adjoining the MahaOya River. The orphanage was originally founded in order to afford care and protection to the many orphaned Elephants found in the jungles of Sri Lanka.In 1978 the orphanage was taken over by the National Zoological Gardens from the Department of Wildlife. A captive breeding program was launched in 1982. Since the inception of the program over 20 elephants have been bred here. The aim of the orphanage is to simulate a natural habitat to these elephants. However, there are some exceptions: the elephants are taken to the river twice a day for a bath.

Royal Botanical Garden
No visit to Kandy is complete without seeing the Royal Botanical gardens at Peradeniya, 6.5km south from the town, on the Colombo road. Its origins go back to the reign of King Kirti Sri Rajasinha (1747-80) when it was a royal residence and park. It formally became a botanical garden in 1821 when the redoubtable Edward Barnes was governor. The firs tea seedling garden in 1821 when the Ceylon were planted in the gardens at Barnes’ behest in 1824, although it was 50 years later that tea showed its potential as a viable commercial crop.The gardens consist of nearly 150 acres dedicated to the flora of Sri Lanka with a spectacular arboretum that includes many endemic trees. There are over 110 endemic plants, as well as major collections of palms, bamboo, cacti, flowers and orchids in a delightful orchid house.
