Handunugoda Tea Estate near Galle, is it free to enter.
2 Answers from travellers
Yes, entering the Handunugoda Tea Estate and taking the guided tour of the working factory is completely free of charge. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and explain the entire fascinating process clearly.
While the tour and the basic tea tasting at the end are free, their famous Virgin White Tea, which is untouched by human hands, is available for purchase in their boutique shop and is considered a highly premium, expensive luxury item.
Scam Watch: galle
Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.
Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
