Early morning set off to hike Gonawatta Gala. Rising from the road opposite the hotel, Gonawatta Gala is a wooded, rocky escarpment that is perfect for an early morning or late afternoon hike. The path falls through several types of habitat, including grassland, lightly wooded forest, and abandoned pepper plantations – each hosting its own niche of wildlife and biodiversity. The hike culminates at a collection of boulders at the summit of the climb which affords picturesque panoramas of the river flowing past the hotel and the land beyond. For more athletic climbers, the flat top of the rocks, once clambered onto, provides a private respite for a picnic under the setting sun.

Note – A shorter trail is available for younger adventurers.

 In the evening you will experience a City tour in Kandy including visits to Temple of the Tooth.

•  Light Colored clothing with sleeves and trousers or skirts below the knee length are recommended.
• Since this is a religious site – the foot ware should be removed before entering you could wear socks if you wish to.

Rest of the day at leisure.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Kandy train Station to get on board to the local train which is how the British used to travel during the colonial times in the late 1800’s. You will have reserved seats for you and witness the beautiful ride along forests, villages, Waterfalls and tea estates.

Notes

• It is important to note that there have been delays in the train timings quite often.
• Please note the purchase of train tickets cannot be guaranteed currently due to the process in place within the Sri Lanka Railways Department especially during peak periods. Tickets for travel are only issued 30 days in advance of travel, are limited and extremely difficult to obtain. In the unlikely event a ticket/s cannot be obtained we will of course make the necessary refunds & the clients will travel by road. This is a destination issue and It is best expectations are managed accordingly.
