What to expect

Your day of sightseeing in the central highlands of Sri Lanka begins with a pick up from your Kandy hotel, where you guide will first take you to see the biggest Buddha in Asia, the Bahiravokanda Vihara Buddha Statue. Head to Katukithula, and learn about tea and tea processing, from picking picking the leaves at the plantation to rolling, fermentation, and sieving at the Glenloch Tea Factory. You will learn all about tea, sampling different types of leaves that make different types of tea and try a refreshing cup of tea with the option of buying some to take home. You then head to the view point, where you will see breathtaking panoramic views of the city of Kandy. Form there, you will head to Pussellawa to see the famous Ramboda waterfalls, one of Sri Lanka's highest. You could take a short hike up to get closer to the falls (at your own risk!) and take a dip in the water if you wish! You can sample delicious local cuisine at a nearby restaurant before you head to Nuwara Eliya itself to see the famous and beautiful Gregory Lake, giving you stunning views of the mountains at one side and the city on the other. You can take a stroll around the city with your guide to explore the beautiful region at your own pace, and even opt to do some adventures such as a short boat ride at the lake (at own expense). It's a relaxing end to the tour before you head back to your hotel in Kandy.

Review for: Group of 2-3 (Price Per Person)

After placing the reservation, no one took the initiative to contact me. I only found out the meeting time through klook customer service, which was 7 am. Later, I went to add the supplier on WhatsApp, and he didn’t reply to me until one or two o’clock in the morning on the day of departure to confirm... Fortunately, a driver came to the hotel on time to wait for me in the morning, and then I added the driver's contact information privately. The driver was very nice, and he was very responsible in introducing Sri Lanka to me along the way. The first stop was to take photos at a scenic spot. The second stop was a waterfall. It was very slippery and we had to be careful when hiking there. After that, we were taken to a local vendor to eat some local snacks (at our own expense). The third stop was the Damro Tea Garden. There is a tour of the tea factory + free tea, and you can also buy cakes at your own expense. I also participated in a safari in the tea garden at my own expense. It cost 20,000 rupees per car. I drove a jeep through the tea garden and could pick tea in the tea garden with a basket on my back. Photograph. After the tea garden, we went directly to the small town of Nuwara Eliya. There was a lakeside trip that I didn’t want to go to, so I wandered around the town, had lunch, visited the pink post office, and browsed the local market. That’s pretty much it for one day.

Review for: Group of 2-3 (Price Per Person)

The guide didn't let us visit the waterfall because according to him, there was no water that day. The rest of the time, he drove to the tourist shops instead, trying to make us buy things (strawberries, gems, spices...). It was the first time we had such an unpleasant experience with Klook. We wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone else.

Review for: Group of 2-3 (Price Per Person)

A bit of confusion at the start, but this was down to lack of communication between our hotel and us. Driver arrived promptly but the hotel did not advise us, so we were busy messaging Klook trying to find our driver when all this time our driver was waiting outside. The tour was nice, good mix of local activities and waterfalls. Our driver was accomodating, despite the day not being that great weather wise we did enjoy it.
