KANDY DAY TOURS

WHAT TO DO IN KANDY?

Kandy, nestled in Sri Lanka’s central hills, is a vibrant city rich in culture, history, and natural beauty. A must-visit is the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, one of the most revered Buddhist sites in the country. This temple houses a relic of Lord Buddha and draws thousands of pilgrims and tourists daily. Nearby, you’ll find other notable temples like Gadaladeniya, Lankatilaka, and Embekke, each showcasing unique Kandyan architecture and spiritual significance

Nature lovers should explore the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, home to over 4,000 species of plants, including orchids, palms, and medicinal herbs. For a cultural treat, attend a Kandyan dance performance held in the evening, featuring traditional drumming, fire-walking, and graceful choreography that reflects the island’s rich heritage.

Just a short drive from Kandy is the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, where you can watch rescued elephants bathe and roam freely. Kandy offers a perfect blend of spirituality, culture, and nature.
