Step into the heart of Sri Lanka’s Kandyan traditions with this unique cultural excursion. Guests will experience traditional dancing, drumming, and singing, immersing themselves in the rhythms, colors, and stories of the island’s heritage.

Beyond the spectacle, this journey is a sensory and healing experience. The vibrations and frequencies of the drums and chants are believed to restore balance, calm the mind, and uplift the spirit-offering a rare combination of cultural enrichment and holistic well-being.
Reconnect with ancient traditions, soulful music, and the healing power of sound in an unforgettable, transformative experience.

We recommend watching the SAMŪLA – Heritage Festival Documentary before you go on the excursion for a deeper understanding and purpose.

The visit will last approximately 4 hours, with a 2-hour drive each way, providing ample time for guests to travel and fully engage with the Gurukula’s activities and learn about the cultural heritage.

Guests are encouraged to dress modestly and comfortably, as the visit will involve walking and participation in certain activities. Photography is allowed, but it is respectful to ask for permission before taking photos of the Gurukula members. 

This excursion is available only on weekends, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
