Kandy Outdoor activities

My trip with Chinthaka, the guide, was an extremely enjoyable experience. He picked me up from my hotel in Kandy, and we first headed to the Ambuluwawa Tower. Although Ambuluwawa is a very famous tourist destination, access by private vehicles is restricted, so it’s necessary to arrange a paid tuk-tuk within the premises—but thanks to Chinthaka, this process went very smoothly. There are many places to visit in Kandy, but it’s difficult to cover them all in a single trip. I recommend planning your itinerary in advance and discussing it with him. In my case, I focused on temples and tried to avoid places with on-site sales as much as possible. Still, skipping all such places might make the tour a bit dull, so I appreciated it when he suggested a spice garden that wasn’t originally on the plan. It turned out to be a great stop, as the garden grows ingredients used in beauty products—an area I’m particularly interested in. I even ended up purchasing a few items I really liked.
