Tour in brief

  • You will be met by a Sri Lanka Day Tours representative at the pre-agreed meeting point in Kandy. You will walk through quaint villages with their Kandyan Forest Gardens, while villagers go about their daily chores at their own pace. 
  • You will get the opportunity to visit the homes of some villagers and you will be able to see how they make treacle and jaggery. Treacle and jaggery are the syrup and sugar blocks made from the sap of a palm tree. This will be a great opportunity for you. 
  • In your way, you will be able to see various trees, such as cloves, pepper, nutmeg, coffee, cocoa, jack, bread-fruit, arecanut, mangosteen, mango, passion-fruit, rambuttan, banana, papaya. You will see thriving rice fields by the river, with Water Buffaloes helping farmers to maintain their fields.  
  • After about 2 hours of walking, you will be at Naranpanawa by Huluganga, at the exact place where the kings of Kandy used to bathe. Naranpanawa comes from the local language ‘ne-ran-panwa’ meaning “no golden comb”, where the king lost his golden comb while bathing here. The villagers use this river to bathe, wash their clothes and their buffaloes. The sight of Buffaloes bathing in a river is something you don’t see every day.
