Fort in Gale, UNESCO heritage, about 20 km. Even in Gala, the state stone store is 3 times cheaper than in Kandy. It is possible by bus, that is still exotic. Turtle nursery (400 rupees), a couple of km; shop of wooden products (souvenirs made of precious wood) We went everywhere by tuk-tuk, not expensive, they will take you wherever you want. In Gala and back - 600 rupees (while we were walking there, they were waiting for us) To Unawatuna and back - 300 rupees (you can see corals there) Read my review, we rested there in October

There is nothing to see in Gala - well, the old fortress and that one is not working. Ordinary ruins. And the city is dirty and vile. Be sure to take a tour of Kandy. There you will definitely be taken to the tea factory. I bought tea there. buy more of it. I have been drinking amazing real tea for a year now. I'm sorry I didn't buy enough. You can carry up to 6 kg, but I did not know that. The trip to Kandy is exhausting. But she's worth it. Ride on elephants, visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic, a beautiful botanical garden. Before leaving, I bought fruits in shops along the highway. Inexpensive and exotic. Just put it in your luggage, and if you take it into the cabin as hand luggage, the customs officers will take it away. We went along the Kaggala River, where they are brought to different skeletons, to the Ayurvedic garden. Interesting. Then we went to the city of Mahara (if I have not forgotten this name), it is in the very south of the island. It has the largest Buddha statue in the world. The size of a 7-storey building. Here they were returning from there and bought fruits for presents. Pineapples are amazingly delicious. To be honest, I envy you. You will see the OCEAN!!!!!

About fruits. Carried in hand luggage, a lot, almost 10 kg. No questions arose, no one took anything away. A friend’s bag was checked very carefully, she had tea there, they didn’t say anything about the fruit either.

I don't know about a lot of tea, we were told that 5 kg per person is allowed.

"Not active"? Interestingly, what is a "_operating_ old fortress"? Cannons should shoot there, or what;)?
But the city is different. Somewhere dirt, and somewhere nice places.

Don't buy tea from factories. Factories are made for tourists, tea is sold low grade. The price is higher than in state stores. Buy tea in centralized Mlesna stores. There tea is of high quality, the minimum price and a huge selection of tea. You can also buy Mlesna tea at the state-owned Food City stores,. These shops are in all settlements.
