After leaving Colombo visit Kandy, the cultural centre of Ceylon. The historic Temple of the Tooth which houses Lord Buddha's tooth has been inducted as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Explore the area and take in the enticing way of life on the island. The iconic Kandyan dance with its colourful costumes and upbeat rhythm may be the first thing you notice.

The village's traditional rice and curry dish is a delicious way to fill you up. Take advantage of Mahiyanganaya Village Day to explore the Asian Land of Rice. To get a view of the Dumbara Valley ascend the rocky ledges to the summit of Knuckles Mountain. Climbers can engage in a variety of climbs here.

Go on full-day excursions to learn about the Veddah community's ancient customs after arriving in Dambana Village. Go into the jungle with the Veddhas as they teach them about their way of life and ancient hunting techniques.
