Description complète

C'est la matinee de village avec la cuisine rendue centrale plutot qu'accessoire. Vous voyez la campagne au travail, de la cannelle pelee a la main, un grimpeur en haut d'un palmier recoltant du toddy, des parcelles d'epices ou le poivre et la cardamome poussent ensemble, puis vous cuisinez avec ce qui en sort.

Le riz et curry est le plat national et il est mal nomme en anglais: ce n'est pas un curry avec du riz mais six ou sept plats separes manges ensemble, chacun cuisine a sa maniere. Un dhal temp'eer' avec des feuilles de curry et des graines de moutarde. Un sambol de noix de coco pile avec du piment et du citron vert. Un jacque ou un haricot vert cuit dans du lait de coco. Un poisson frit ou un curry d'œuf. Tout cela construit sur une base d'epices moulues fraiches.

Vous faites le travail: raper la noix de coco sur un racloir traditionnel hiramanaya, moudre la pate d'epices sur une pierre, cuisiner dans des pots en argile sur un feu de bois, qui ne se comporte en rien comme une plaque a gaz et constitue la moitie de la lecon. L'hote corrige au fur et a mesure.

Puis vous vous asseyez et mangez ce que vous avez prepare, ce qui apres une matinee a moudre et raper a un gout considerablement meilleur que dans un restaurant.

Kandy fut la derniere capitale des rois cinghalais, resistant aux Portugais et aux Hollandais jusqu'a ce que les Britanniques la prennent en 1815, et le Temple de la Sainte Dent Relique sur le lac explique son importance: la relique, consideree comme une dent du Bouddha, est l'objet le plus sacre de l'ile et sa garde legitimait autrefois la royaute. La chambre de la relique ouvre pour le puja trois fois par jour, vers 5h30, 9h30 et 18h30, quand les tambours commencent et que la file avance devant le reliquaire. La tenue couvre epaules et genoux, les chaussures se retirent a l'entree, et l'Esala Perahera en juillet ou aout fait parader le reliquaire sur un elephant a travers la ville pendant dix nuits.

The Eco village tour and cooking class was excellent, informative, well organised and the hosts were very friendly. If you want a true authentic introduction to Sri Lankan cuisine don’t look any further.

It was a great experience to have such a day in Kandy. Especially at Kumarihami cooking class we had the best meal in Sri Lanka. They taught us step by step how to cut, mix, which spice to put etc. Their big outdoor kitchen with curry leaf bush, flowers, some animals and so much green were relaxing and refreshing. We highly reccomend this class! とても素晴らしい時を過ごしました。Kumarihami cooking classでは、自然の中のキッチンで、カレーリーフの木や竈、遠くに見えるサルやリス、鳥たちと共に、大変優しく、分かりやすくスパイスの調合や材料の切り方など教えてくれましたし、野菜の一部は自分たちで選ぶことができたのも面白かったです。とてもおすすめのアクティビティです!

Questions fréquentes

Hotel pickup in Kandy; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover drinks beyond those served with the meal, gratuities, spice purchases, personal expenses.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you tell us when you book rather than on the day. Vegetarian and vegan are routine; allergies need naming specifically so the host can shop differently.
Pekoe Lanka Tours. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Time it for a puja — 5.30am, 9.30am or 6.30pm. Those are the only windows when the upper relic chamber opens and the hevisi drummers play; outside them you are visiting a beautiful building rather than a ceremony. Take socks: shoes come off at the gate and the stone courtyard gets painfully hot. Full detail in our Temple of the Tooth guide.
February for the clearest weather, or July-August, which is drier here than most people expect and covers the Esala Perahera. Kandy sits between Sri Lanka's *two* monsoons and catches some of both, so it has no long dry season — but it also never has a season that is a write-off. See best time to visit Kandy.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways and the famous photographs are. Sit on the right-hand side going south. Note there is no Nuwara Eliya station; the stop is Nanu Oya, 10 km away. See our Kandy to Ella train guide.
July or August — but the dates move every year with the lunar calendar, so any guide naming a fixed week is guessing. It runs ten nights and ends on the Nikini poya. Book accommodation on the route six to twelve months ahead. Details in our Esala Perahera guide.
Sigiriya and Dambulla (2.5 hrs each way) is the best of them. Kitulgala rafting is 2 hrs, the Knuckles range and Pekoe Trail stages are day hikes from here. Ella, Galle and Yala are *too far* — 4-6 hours each way. See day trips from Kandy.
Two nights. One full day for the town — Bahirawakanda, Peradeniya gardens, the lake and the evening puja — and a second for a hike, a village day or the cultural triangle. Our Kandy 2-day itinerary lays it out hour by hour.
The centre and the lake circuit are walkable. For anything up a hill or out of town, take a tuk-tuk — roughly LKR 100-150/km on the meter, and ride-hailing apps price it automatically with no negotiation. See getting around Kandy.
