The Plantation Experience

The Immersive
Cinnamon Journey

Begin your visit with a hearty reception and a refreshing Thambili (king coconut). Our local guide will lead you to the working cinnamon factory and oil distillery, where you'll see how cinnamon is graded and prepared for market.

You'll then walk through the aromatic plantation fields, gaining firsthand knowledge of cinnamon cultivation. The tour continues to a hilltop ambalama, where you can relax, sip Ceylon cinnamon tea, and enjoy the sweeping views of Weligama.

Finally, you'll witness a cinnamon peeling demonstration—and even try it yourself with guidance from our friendly peelers.
