1.From Colombo: Kandy Temples and Pinnawala Full-Day Tour

A long, well-paced Kandy day from Colombo/Negombo: Tooth Relic Temple, Bahirawa Buddha, elephants at Pinnawala, tea tasting, plus optional factories.

Most Popular★ 4.6

“It was pretty long ride, be ready, especially bathrooms 😉 Elephant orphanage and bath was great. Tea factory is nice, especially smell. Jewellery factory is pure money waste (they heavily want you to buy something). Temple of Buddha Teeth is ok, but lacks of guidance, be ready to left your shoes before entering.”
