This was a really nice pit stop. The guide, Janaka, was very knowledgeable about plants and spices and explained the medicinal and culinary uses of everything in a lot of detail. A good place to buy spices and ayurvedic herbal oils.

We came here as part of a mercury holidays tour. It was a quick tour of the spice garden, a demonstration of some products and options to have shoulder massage- and then a pop in the shop. No pressure to buy, I thought the prices were a little higher than expected but you don’t have to purchase anything. We also stopped for lunch over the road( owned by same people I think) which was lovely buffet.

This was a very interesting tour of spices. You are guided round the spice garden and he explains each spice as you go round. Then you have drink of like a spice drink. Then you are given a 10 minute massage of the head or neck. You can buy the spices.

We stopped off here for a walk through the spice garden with a guide. Sure, the guide wants you to buy some products at the end of the talk but Sri Lanka has had a recent economic crash so this is entirely to be expected. We found the talk interesting and we enjoyed the opportunity to sample many of the spices in their natural form - mainly through smelling the wonderful smells of things like lemongrass and sandalwood.
