This cave of Ali Baba which is the handicraft center, located on the main road heading out of West Kandy and Paradeniya Gardens. You can go with a bus that costs 11RS and a tuk tuk for about 150 Rs. It is a bit far from downtown to be able to go walking. The nice thing about this place is that it concentrates on making crafts from around the country, particularly in the region of Kandy. They are the famous wooden masks, which depending on the decor will bring happiness, prosperity, friendship or defense against the forces of evil. There are the wooden elephants and memorabilia which are some of the favorites.
