Nelligala offers the best 360 degree panoramic sunset views of the central highlands. Once back in Kandy town, the Kandy Muslim Hotel is iconic for its roasted beef kottu and hot samosas. For drinks afterward, head to Slightly Chilled Lounge. It is a famous backpacker rooftop bar overlooking the Kandy Lake, perfect for a relaxed evening.
Just a heads up, Kandy is a holy city and shuts down very early compared to Colombo or the south coast. Enjoy the rooftop beers, but do not expect a wild 3 AM clubbing scene.

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).
