Stopped by this great place on our way to Kandy! Shaminda has a wonderful collection of rare and precious gems and stones. He is super generous and knowledgeable and very much passionate about his work. Learned a lot from him and left with a brilliant new collection for a very good price. I highly recommend!

Sri Dalada Maligawa Established the "World Buddhist Museum" which constitutes the Most adorable exercise in the context of World Buddhism. Awarded 2x Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor. NOTE : Entry fee is free of charge only for the visitors who purchased the Temple Ticket. If you are visit the Museum from outside you need to purchase the ticket (Rs. 500).
Detailed, organized and spacious place. There is an entrance fee. Don’t miss out if you are in Kandy, especially if you are visiting “Maligawa”.

This visit was arranged through our hotel in Kandy and was really worth it. Mr Upali and his wife are skilled craftspeople keeping their craft alive. They are also lovely people and a delight to spend an hour with.

The museum has a valuable collection of ancient artifacts, jewelry, and documents related to the worship of sacred tooth relic and the incumbents and custodians of the temple.

Free entry to the Tea Factory and museum with lovely guides taking you round and explaining how the factory works. A delightful tea room to sample the tea and buy tea and gifts from the factory. The tea room has a balcony the full length of the building overlooking Ramboda falls. Great place for photos. Next to Oak Ray hotel which also overlooks the falls (we didn't stay here, just a stop on the way. Lovely viewpoint at the hotel for more photos. Definitely worth a stop on your way from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya or Ella.

This quiet museum is a hidden gem!! Absolutely underrated by guide books! It was fascinating to see traditional tea making equipment, and learn the history. Our entrance fee included a complementary guide who was professional and spoke excellent English. We finished with a delicious cup of tea in the café overlooking great views, and buying different types of tea from the shop for our friends and family.

Raja The Tusker Elephant was serving for the Annual Kandy Procession long ago and had won the heart of all worshipers because of its disciplined manner and peaceful nature. Its body preserved in Raja Elephant Museum inside the sacred Temple of Tooth Relic.

Fascinating history. Well presented and follows a logical presentation. No shortage of amazing examples of the period. Much bigger than initially seemed. Well worth the visit.

The museum has undergone extensive renovations since my last visit five years ago, where the collections on display were quite deteriorated and the environment not ideal. Since then however there has been great improvements in object condition, mountings and display lighting along with interesting and helpful object descriptions. The addition of a shop and additional seating are also new. Well worth the entrance fee for a beautiful and interesting collection.

We loved our visit! This is really unique. The railway is such a big part of Sri Lanka, the tea industry and the colonial history of the country. We went to this museum the day before our trip on the Kandy to Ella train so it was great to have learnt about the traditional way the railways are still operated before seeing it first hand. We had a really helpful and friendly free guided tour and there was lots to see.
