What to expect
Sri Muthumari Amman Kovil
30m · Admission ticket not included
Sri Muthumariamman Temple is a Kovil at Matale, Sri Lanka, built in late 1800s, and dedicated to Goddess Mariamman (goddess of rain and Fertility), a deity worshipped by Hindus. It has adapted the common Dravidian Architecture usually seen in major Kovils. However, one of the unique features in this kovil, is its high Gopuram (an enticingly decorated large tower) named 'Raja Koburum'. It is one of the largest Gopurams in Srilanka. Make sure to notice the Architectural features of this sacred cultural heritage.
Nalanda Gedige
30m · Admission ticket not included
Nalanda Gedige is believed to be the center of Sri Lanka. The structure, which is about 1000 years old is made of rock and lime, where its architecture demonstrates a combination of both Buddhist and Hindu art. You can come across Buddhist and Hindu sculptures and art placed in the Dravidian Style structure if you get the chance for a visit.
Dambulla Cave Temple
2h · Admission ticket not included
The Dambulla cave temple is listed as a World Heritage site by UNESCO. The temple consists of five caves with the surfaces of rock inside the caves washed in deliberate designs and art inspired by the Life of Gautama Buddha and Buddhism. With an ancient history, this place adorns many elements representing its history. Though there are minor renovations made, the history of this sacred place is protected and the premises are open for visitors to experience its beauty.
Ranweli Spice Garden

The Ranweli Spice Garden located about an hour’s drive from Kandy grows the spices essential in Sri Lankan Cuisine and has the herbs required by traditional Ayurveda Medicine. This place is sure to be an inspiration to all botanical admirers. Moreover, they offer Beverages inspired by the spices they grow. They also have their own store at the grounds where the visitors have the remarkable chance to purchase 100% organic and pure products.
Sigiriya Lion Rock
2h · Admission ticket not included
Sigiriya Rock Fortress is a World heritage site as announced by UNESCO in 1982. The creation of this rock has an appealing backstory. There are main elements of this fortress worth noticing. For example, the Fresco paintings of female figures which have no exact theory of what it represents up-to-date but the theories made so far are exciting. Another feature would be the Lion’s Paw entrance you will encounter at the start of the climb. The other elements such as the mirror wall and the boulders garden are some interesting sights as well. Visiting the Rock fortress will give you a worthy experience for your visit and add more joyful memories.
