The Art of Kandyan — Katugastota Market & Cooking Day

Begin at sunrise on the historic Katugastota Old Bridge facing the Gangaramaya Temple, then plunge into Kandy's bustling economic hub — a marketplace of potters, traders and produce. Bargain for the freshest vegetables (they become your lunch), try betelnut, then retreat to a shaded garden to learn slow cooking in muttiya and hattiya clay pots with the full Sri Lankan spice arsenal. Finish with traditional Kandyan sweet making. 100% plastic free; part of the income funds folic acid tablets for pregnant mothers who cannot afford them.
