I am a collector of artefacts especially statues ... and I must say I was very fortunate to stumble upon this shop on Facebook and managed to contact the owner Sriya..They have very unusual and beautiful statues of ancient gods and kings which are priced very reasonably. The owners are a kind couple who make sure the goods are delivered to you undamged and speedily. I hope one day I can visit their shop in Kandy.

Aakarsha Gem House

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!

Waruna Antiques

Reviewed By AnnefromBelgium111 - Brussels, Belgium

Waruna is indeed 'one of a kind', a self made man, very spiritual and...het speaks really good English ( a bonus). The intimate shop is a labyrinth - treasure trove for real antiques and quirky objects. But beware of what happende to me once: a tuktuk driver nearly refused to bring me there... 'Waruna not good etc, better other shop... "I was laughing in myself as i know Waruna for some years... and indeed, no fat commission there for just dropping off a client (though i am pretty sure some driver who really does an effort will be rewarded properly) .You may be interested to know that he is also the creator of that marvelously pittoresque Samadhi Ayurvedic Center/Resort in a remote valley in the region.

Ella Train Journey

Rated as the World’s Most Beautiful Train Trip, the train ride to Ella stands tall as one of the major highlights of Sri Lanka. If you are traveling to Sri Lanka, the one most memorable element that you should never miss will be the Ella Train Ride. Witness the most scenic hills. chilling weather, ever-lasting nature of the tea plantations and the uncapturable moments.

Mostly from Dambulla Cave temple and other heritage sights. And adding to that we have a wonderful collection of frescoes too. Most of paintings are done on well treated wood and we try to keep authentic nature of the paintings as much as we can. Adding further you don’t have to buy anything from us we appreciate even your visit to our place. Because as a traveler if you are interested about art and authentic traditional art of Sri Lanka we highly recommend you to visit our place so we can give you a quality idea of our country’s painting history with examples.

Jagath is a very talented artist who was very friendly and explained all the work he was doing. He showed us his work in stages, discussed the conferences he had attended and explained how he can create custom pieces of work and safely have them shipped abroad for us. His art work was amazing and although we did not purchase anything that day he spent a lot of time with us. Highly recommend visiting and buying something unique from here.

Paintings in the period dating to 1745 AD. Beautiful. Very quiet and less touristic. The care taker was very helpful.

The Galmaduwa viharaya is an impressive building of strange architecture.

Reviewed By misskemali - Gampaha, Sri Lanka

A very beautiful and unique temple with a lot of history. Looks more like a 'Kovil', rather than a Buddhist Temple. A must visit in Kandy.

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.
