Kandy, Sri Lanka
Kandy is a vibrant city rich in history, tradition, and natural beauty. Located in the Central Highlands, it was the last capital of the ancient kings of Sri Lanka and remains an important cultural and spiritual center. The city’s crown jewel is the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), which attracts pilgrims and tourists alike. Kandy Lake, located in the city center, offers a peaceful escape, while nearby, you’ll find lush botanical gardens, scenic train routes, and opportunities for hiking in the surrounding mountains. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kandy stands as a symbol of resilience and pride in Sri Lankan heritage.
Kandy beautifully blends old-world charm with natural tranquility. The Temple of the Tooth, housing a relic of the Buddha, is one of the most revered sites in the country. You can enjoy cultural performances showcasing Kandyan dance and drumming, or wander through the colorful streets filled with markets and colonial-era buildings. Nature lovers will appreciate a trip to the Royal Botanical Gardens or a trek in the Knuckles Mountain Range. Kandy is the ideal gateway to explore the Central Highlands and immerse yourself in authentic Sri Lankan culture.
