Spice Gardens

While Sri Lanka is now renowned for its tea, spices were the primary trade goods exchanged with the East and Europe during the pre-colonial era. This is your opportunity to visit one of the world-famous spice producers. Sri Lanka is home to over 15 unique spices, including the finest cinnamon globally.

Join a guided tour where you can immerse yourself in the diverse fragrances of the spice garden. The guides will explain the uses and health benefits of each spice. You'll witness how these spices are cultivated, harvested, and processed into various products.

In certain locations, you can enjoy a soothing massage and have the opportunity to purchase these exquisite spices directly from their shops. You can buy spices, traditional herbal remedies, and natural cosmetics. While you might find these spices in local shops or supermarkets in Sri Lanka for a lower price, the quality may differ.

Be sure to try their welcome drink, especially the complimentary spice tea.
