Overview
Kandy and Pinnawala 2 day itinerary overview
This private Kandy and Pinnawala 2 day itinerary gives you two relaxed days in Sri Lanka’s hill capital instead of a rushed day trip. Your driver picks you up in Colombo, Negombo or at the airport, and you travel in your own air-conditioned car or van with one night in a hotel in Kandy.
On day one you watch the elephants bathe at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, visit a herbal garden and spend the evening in Kandy at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and a Kandyan dance show. Day two brings the Kandy viewpoint, Peradeniya Botanical Gardens and a tea factory before the drive back.
