Reed and cane craft concentrated in Wewaldeniya (near Kegalle) and Kalutara area villages — baskets, table mats, wall hangings, small furniture. Family workshops, traditional patterns, natural dye colors. Half-day village visit possible en route Kandy or south coast.

Buying: small mat 300-800 LKR, larger baskets 1500-4000 LKR. Good lightweight gift. Check for quality: tight weave, uniform color, finished edges. Village prices 40-60% cheaper than Colombo shops.
