What to expect

A train ride through the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka is one of the most scintillating ways to discover the country. You'll trundle through the verdant hills to discover the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy, as well as a few other green delights on this full day tour.

A scenic train ride through the Central Highlands sets the tone for a great day of exploration. Watch the rolling hills, tea plantations and lush wilderness pass as you make tracks towards Kandy. Once you're there, it's off to the Temple of the Tooth Relic – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's Sri Lanka's most sacred temple, and the complex also includes a royal palace.

And you can also look forward to visits to a botanical garden, a tea plantation and factory in Giragama, and a spice garden in Mawanella. What's more, lunch is included.

    Enjoyed everything we did that day and it was made even more enjoyable due to our guide for the day. A knowledgeable guide is essential if you want to get the most out of the day

    Travelled as a couple

    The train journey was great. The views from the train were spectacular and we got to see the country from a different perspective. The temple was a really good experience and the guide was so knowledgable giving us all the information about it. The lunch we had was delicious and had great river views. The botanical gardens were beautiful. We enjoyed seeing how tea was made too at the tea factory. Just a great day in Kandy.
