What To Expect
Kandy View Point

Sri Muthumari Amman Kovil
Hindus say Sri Muthumariamman Temple to this famous Matale Hindu Temple. And also they believe Muthumariamman is the goddess for the rain. In the Tamil language, they say “Muthu” to pearls, “Mari” to rain, and “Amman” to the goddess. Furthermore, Hindu people worship this goddess for prosperity. Hinduism came to Sri Lanka from India. Most of the time they located on the lands of English cultivators. English cultivators brought the Tamils from India to cultivate their lands. Matale Hindu Temple was built in 1874. Previously the land was a paddy field. After that, the owner donated this land to build the temple in 1852. In 1983 an ethnic conflict in the area severely damaged the temple.

5.00Our day tour was fantastic! The Hindu temple was colorful and very interesting. Dambulla Cave Temple amazed us with its ancient Buddha statues and stunning murals. Finally Sigiriya was breathtaking climbing the rock and seeing the view from the top was unforgettable. Our guide Mr. Shammy was thoughtful and friendly even bringing us fruits and breakfast in the morning. He always shared useful tips making the tour smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend this trip and our guide Shammy :-)

5.00Andry was a great tour guide, taking us up to Sigiriya and Dambulla from Kandy! He took us to an herb garden that explained all the different herbs and medical uses, and got a tour of saffire mining and crafting in Sri Lanka. Was a rainy day, but the tour was great.
Anytime again.

5.00Sammy made my day as announced by the manager. Super punctual hotel pickup, safe drive to Dambulla and Sigiriya. Every additional request was fulfilled; for example, there were intermediate stops in Matale and in an Ayurveda centre. Sammy is very open, attentive and answered any curious questions on my part about the country and people. I can recommend a tour with Sammy 100%.
Great trip to Sigiria

5.00We had a wonderful time. Mohamed took great care of us, stopping for fabulous food and fruit and making sure we did what we wanted to on the trip. A special mention is that my husband wasn’t feeling well on the trip home and Mohamed really looked after him, including checking up on him the next day. I really recommend the company and Mohamed and will use them next time we are in Sri Lanka.
