A short refreshment stop en route keeps you refreshed and ready for the adventure ahead. Arrive in Kandy around 3:00 PM and take time to freshen up before the main spectacle.

Settle into your pre - reserved seat by 5:30 PM - whether it's a premium VIP Queens Corridor seat or a comfortable Standard seat - you're promised an unbeatable view of the Final Randoli Perahera.

As the night deepens, watch in awe as elephants in dazzling regalia, traditional dancers, drummers, fire-breathers, and whip - crackers bring the streets of Kandy alive with rhythm and color. Witness the sacred casket pass in a moment of profound cultural reverence.

After the show ends around 10:30 PM, your guide escorts you back to the vehicle. Relax, nap, or reflect during the comfortable return journey, arriving back at your pickup point by early morning.
