Description complète

C'est la version courte de l'atelier de sculpture, et elle existe pour une raison precise: un apres-midi a Kandy est souvent deja pris, et une heure suffit pour vraiment fabriquer quelque chose.

L'artisan commence par une demonstration, les ciseaux, le maillet, la facon dont un motif est transfere sur une ebauche, et ce que signifient les motifs kandyens recurrents. Le lotus, la vigne liya vela et les bordures geometriques forment un vocabulaire qui traverse tout, des portes de temple aux masques de danse, et dix minutes d'explication changent la facon dont vous regardez le reste de Kandy.

Puis vous sculptez. On vous donne une ebauche preparee et les outils, et l'artisan travaille a vos cotes en corrigeant plutot qu'en prenant le relais. Une heure suffit pour une petite piece, que vous gardez.

Les transferts en tuk-tuk depuis votre hotel sont inclus, ce qui compte car les ateliers se trouvent dans les rues artisanales plutot que sur le circuit touristique et ne sont pas faciles a trouver seul.

La piece que vous fabriquez est petite, une heure de travail au ciseau sur une ebauche preparee, pas un panneau fini, et elle rentre avec vous. A savoir a l'avance: la plupart des ateliers de sculpture a Kandy ont une salle d'exposition attenante, et on vous la montrera a la fin. Il n'y a aucune obligation d'acheter quoi que ce soit, et les frais de l'atelier se suffisent a eux-memes.

This is the perfect way to experience Kandy if you have limited time here. Akila is very knowledgeable on the local area and was the perfect driver for this experience. We started with the carving workshop which was lots of fun getting to learn a traditional craft. After the workshop the day is yours, you can do as many or as few of the activities in the description as you like. This makes this experience a great way to see all the sites in Kandy, while doing some fun workshops, without having to worry about how you’ll get to each one. Akila is a really nice guy as well, couldn’t recommend thi

Was leuk! Akila heeft zich uitgebreid de tijd genomen voor ons, alles op ons gemak. Wat je niet wilt hoeft niet, je kan ervoor kiezen om een uur extra verlengen bij het houtsnijden wat wij hebben gedaan om een leuk resultaat te behalen dit kost nog eens 4000 p.p.

The guide was really nice and let us take our time to explore our desired destinations. We had the chance to explore so much in one afternoon! Definitely recommend if you stay for a short period in Kandy and want to maximize your time.

The price does not cover meals and drinks, gratuities, additional pieces bought at the workshop.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes. The piece you make is yours and the host packs it for travel. Some materials need drying or firing time, so ask at the start if you are flying the same day.
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.
