Ceylon Tea Museum south of town - half day realistic before evening
Ceylon Tea Museum south of Kandy for a half day — still realistic if we must be back for early dinner before 7:00 PM. Not buy tea packets as gifts mid-morning, and not Peradeniya gardens half-day.

Tea Museum half-days work if you treat traffic honestly and protect early dinner before 7:00 PM. It is a different outing than buying tea packets in town.
Scam Watch: kandy
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).
