Cultural Dancing Performance This cultural event, which takes place in Kandy town, features different styles of Kandyan dancing, which was originally indigenous to the area but has since spread to other parts of the island. Kandyan dancing is a significant part of Sri Lankan culture and is a highly anticipated event during perahera processions. It originated from a dance performed by Indian shamans who visited the island. In addition to the show's energetic acrobatic performances, which include a series of leaping pirouettes and stunts like plate-spinning and the dramatic "fire walk," which concludes the performance, you will witness a number of dances that portray the elegant movements of birds and animals, which have their roots in the ancient ritual known as the Kohomba Kapkariya.

Kandy's Royal Botanical Garden The gardens were officially opened in 1821 under their current name after being originally intended as a queen's pleasure garden in the 14th century and a Kandyan prince's home in the 18th. It's a lovely experience to stroll around these serene, beautifully manicured lawns, borders, and pavilions immediately following your restorative wellness treatment.
The city of Nuwara Eliya, which is surrounded by stunning greenery and mind-calming scenery, is located in Sri Lanka's Central Highlands. The city is referred to as Little England because of its subtropical highland climate.

After breakfast at the hotel in Nuwara Eliya, head to Bentota to enjoy the picturesque island's well-known waterfalls, Devon and St. Clairs Falls. These waterfalls are situated along the Kotmale Oya, a tributary of the Mahaweli River, which flows through a tea estate and over three rock outcrops into a large pool, hence the falls' name. The waterfalls are made up of two falls: "Kuda Ella" (Sinhalese "The Lesser Fall"), which is 50 meters (160 feet) high and situated directly downstream of the main fall, and "Maha Ella" (Sinhalese "The Greater Fall"), which is 80 meters (260 feet) high and 50 meters (160 feet) wide. [4] The 20th-highest waterfall in Sri Lanka is St. Clair's Falls. The Devon Falls is a waterfall in Sri Lanka that is located on the A7 highway, 6 km west of Talawakele in the Nuwara Eliya District. The falls bear the name of Devon, a pioneering English coffee planter whose plantation is located close to the falls. With a height of 97 meters, the waterfall is the 19th highest on the island.
At Kithulgala, white water rafting is a fun outdoor activity that involves navigating a river or other body of water in an inflatable raft. Whitewater or various levels of rough water are frequently used for this. It frequently involves dealing with risk and the requirement for teamwork.

At Talalla, check into the hotel.
Day 10
Talalla
The city of Galle is located on Sri Lanka's southwest coast. Galle Fort, the 16th-century fortified old city established by Portuguese colonists, is its most famous feature. Portuguese, Dutch, and British architecture are reflected in the stone sea walls that the Dutch enlarged to enclose car-free streets. Among the notable structures is the Dutch Reformed Church from the 18th century. On the southeast corner of the fort is the Galle Lighthouse.
Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery You can learn a lot about Sri Lanka's groundbreaking sea turtle conservation project here, including why the country (and the village of Kosgoda in particular) is an ideal turtle nesting location, why the conservation project is necessary, and how locals run the project with the assistance of foreign volunteers.
Day 11
Talalla
Safari on the Maadu River In addition to leaving you speechless, a windy riverboat ride will energize your senses and lift your spirits. The river, which is located in the Galle District, is a good illustration of the elaborate river channels that adorn the southwest coast of our nation. With a staggering 915 hectares and 23 islands home to almost 300 families, this site's ecological significance earned it the title of "Ramsar Wetland" in 2003, making it the second largest wetland in Sri Lanka. The River Sanctuary is now a Tourist Development Area and a Special Area Managed (SAM) by the Coast Conservation Department. Balapitiya is where the ‘Madu Ganga’ makes its home.
Day 12
