Damro Labookellie Tea Centre and Tea Garden
Kandy to Nuwara Eliya day tour begins after the guests have finished their breakfast. The destination is the fabulous tea country named Nuwara Eliya, a mesmerizing city in the hill country of the Central province. The name Nuwara Eliya has two meanings: the City of Lights and the City on the Plains. Nuwara Eliya is about 76 km from Kandy, and along the road there are many places to visit. • The Damro Labookellie Tea Centre and Tea Garden is the first destination you visit during Kandy to Nuwara Eliya Day Tour. The Damro tea center is one of the tea estates we come across on the journey to Nuwara Eliya. Formerly known as the Mackwoods, it is the oldest tea center in Sri Lanka. It is an enormous 5000 hectares of lavish tea plantations. You will get to learn about both black and white tea processes, as each tea has a different method of making. The factory tour is free of charge and ends with a delicious tea tasting.

Gregory Lake
Then we head straight to Nuwara Eliya city to visit Lake Gregory. Located at the southern end of the town, the lake gives a sense of relaxation and a scenic view. It was named after Sir William Gregory in 1873; it is a unique tourist attraction. Tourists can go on horse rides, boat rides, or have a gentle stroll down the walkways; the lake park is also a fabulous spot for a picnic. • The next rather weird tourist attraction is the Nuwara Eliya post office. The post office is located in the center of the city. What is unique about the post office is that it is one of the oldest post offices in Sri Lanka. The building is a Tudor-style two-story redbrick building with a clock spire, which was constructed by the British in 1894. The upper floor of the post office is a tourist accommodation.

The last stop before heading to Kandy is the Sita Amman Temple, which is located in Sita Eliya, about ten minutes from Nuwara Eliya. It is the one and only Hindu temple devoted to Princess Sita in Sri Lanka. It is one of the important Ramayana sites in Sri Lanka. The soil surrounding the area is black in color; it is believed that Lord Hanuman burnt this area before he left Sri Lanka. The footprint of Lord Hanuman is still visible in a nearby stream. It is a rather interesting location to visit. • Then finally, we head back to finish your Kandy to Nuwara Eliya Day Tour

Great day trip to Sigiriya, Dambulla and Polonnaruwa
The excursion turned out just as we had hoped. Although we knew it would be a long day, we requested a driver to take us to Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Polonnaruwa. He showed up right on time at our hotel and took us in a private car to the various locations. Although we did not want guide services, the driver showed us where to get tickets, etc. and always checked in to see if we had any needs (food, drinks, site guides, etc.). He was friendly and a skilled driver. And the cost was very reasonable. Would absolutely recommend to a friend!
Response from the operator: Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 so much for taking olyour time to share an insightful review of your excursion experience and our service. We are thrilled to hear the lasting impression the experience has left on you, Your wonderful comments and positive feedback is a great incentive for us to further ensure and enhance our level of service for the future as well. Hope to have you again here in Sri Lanka Lanka Safe Tours

Great day out
Arranged at the last.minute, very efficient and easy to do and fair price. Driver was early so we could get a slightly head start, Fazeel was very knowledgeable about Sri Lanka and very friendly. It made the day very interesting. Did a trip to the spice harden, then into Polonnawura where we did some sightseeing and cycling. Great spot for lunch over Looking the rice fields, then a stop off in Dambulla. It.was a long day (7am to 8pm) but really enjoyable Thank you Fazeel and Dinesh !!
Response from the operator: Dear Sir & Madam, thank you very much for choosing me as your tour agent to travel over sri lanka. I hope that you have enjoyed the visit and my service.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kandy.
How much does tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy cost?
+
Prices start at $26 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kandy usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kandy is not rushed.
Is tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kandy, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kandy can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kandy and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does tuk tuk tour kandy to Nuwara eliya day tour from Kandy start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kandy within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kandy?
+
On Outty we rank every Kandy experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Kandy City Tour by Tuk Tuk, Tours and Transportation in Sri Lanka, Chauffeur guide and Tour organizer. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kandy?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kandy?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
