A fantastic day trip for nature lovers is taking a taxi up to the Knuckles Mountain Range. The hiking trails there offer stunning views of waterfalls, misty peaks, and remote villages.
Another great option is visiting the Ambuluwawa Tower in Gampola. Climbing the narrow spiraling staircase to the top provides breathtaking panoramic views of the entire central province.

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
