Description

Discover Sri Lanka's traditional spice-growing heritage and herbal plant knowledge with the Sigiriya Spice & Herbal Garden Tour. Walk through a garden showcasing aromatic plants, culinary spices and herbs associated with traditional Sri Lankan cooking and Ayurvedic practices.

With guidance from a local garden representative, learn to recognise plants such as cinnamon, pepper, cardamom and other spices where they are cultivated at the selected venue.
