A visit to the Moonstone Mine and Cinnamon Plantation offers a glimpse into two of Sri Lanka’s traditional industries. In Meetiyagoda, moonstones—semi-precious gems known for their bluish shimmer—are still mined by hand using age-old methods. Watch as miners descend deep into narrow pits and gem cutters skillfully polish the stones. Nearby, cinnamon plantations showcase the cultivation and processing of one of the world’s finest spices. Visitors can see the peeling, drying, and rolling of cinnamon bark while learning about its history and uses. This tour blends natural wonder with cultural heritage, making it both informative and fascinating.
