Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, B199, Pinnawala 71100 Sri Lanka
Arrive at Pinnawela in time for the morning feeding of baby Elephants “at this orphanage you will find Elephants of various ages which are abandoned or otherwise unable to feed for themselves by way of being injured. They are looked after with loving care until such time they are ready to be freed according to the instructions of wildlife authorities. The unique feature is that one could feed the baby elephants with bottles of milk during the feeding times. The elephants are also bathed daily in the river ‘Ma-Oya’ located across the orphanage.”
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Royal Botanical Gardens, Peradeniya Road, Peradeniya 20400 Sri Lanka
There are some 4,000 different species of plants at Peradeniya Gardens. The 10,000 or so trees, which are the stars, are mature, lofty giants, many of them tropical timber trees.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: New Ranweli Spice Garden, No 31 Gannoruwa opposite Suspension Bridge of Peradeniya Botanical Garden, Kandy 20000 Sri Lanka
En-route visiting a spice garden in Mawanella. During early times in history Sri Lanka was known as Taprobane that was world renowned for its quality spices. During ancient times Greeks, Romans and the Arabs maintained cordial links with Sri Lanka through the spice trade. These spice gardens offer tourists a memorable visit with a lot of information on spice plantations in Sri Lanka.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kandy Lake, Centre of Kandy City, Kandy 20000 Sri Lanka
Proceed to Kandy; this lovely city is the erstwhile ‘Hill Capital’ and last stronghold of the Sinhala Kings. Encircled by hills, with a tranquil lake in its centre, it is the site of the renowned "Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic of Buddha". One would never miss a visit to the view point, market-place which is a hub of activity along with few handicraft galleries. Kandy retains an aura of grandeur which time has not effaced.
It is time to experience some finest “Ceylon Tea” on your way back.
Sri Lanka is well known for its tea and the humidity, cool temperatures and rainfall of the Central Highlands provide an ideal climate for the production of high-quality tea. It’s just a matter of dropping a tea bag in hot water to make a cuppa, but how is it made? At Geragama Tea Factory which was built in 1903, you could experience it right from the tea gardens until it is made as ‘finest tea’ through that traditional process in factory.
