Had a wonderful day with guide Silva who could not have been more helpful and knowledgeable. Started with a tour round the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy which was an amazing experience, then explored the Kele Santuary where we discovered the hermits cave, then on to a tea factory where we were taken round and shown the process then on to a herb garden to see natural shrilnkan remedies for ailment. It was a great day, thank you Silva.
Fantastic and memorable day
