Ceylon Spice Trails

Ceylon Spice Trails curates immersive cinnamon and spice experiences around the southern lowlands near Madiha–Polhena, bringing guests into small family-run plantations and heritage kitchens. The tour opens with a guided stroll through a fragrant cinnamon grove where hosts demonstrate peeling, drying, and grading techniques passed down generations. Guests learn to tell true Ceylon cinnamon from other varieties and get hands-on practice breaking quills and grinding fresh spice. The experience pairs sensory learning with culinary sessions: bespoke spice-blending classes, local chutney making, and a final meal showcasing how cinnamon and allied spices shape Sri Lankan cuisine. The company highlights sustainable farming, showing shade trees, organic practices, and intercropping with coconut and pepper. Visits include a short trip to a nearby coastal village where spice traders once met fishermen, tying together agricultural and maritime histories. Ceylon Spice Trails is ideal for foodies, agritourism fans, and cultural travelers who want to leave with both knowledge and a small packet of freshly dried cinnamon.
