Overview

One of the most well-known cities in Sri Lanka is Kandy, the capital city situated on a hill. There are several tourist attractions in Kandy. The city has a reputation for being distinctive because of its setting in a hill station near a lake. Around Kandy, there is a plethora of cultural diversity. The Temple of the Tooth receives the most visitors. Former Kandyan rulers built the city's central lake, which offers visitors a breathtaking view. Sports, religion, history, and culture are all abundant in Kandy. One of the top attractions in Kandy is the Royal Botanical Garden, and tourists may also go to a tea factory and a plantation to learn more about the cultivation of tea.

What To Expect

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

The golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic a tooth of the Buddha. During puja (offerings or prayers), the heavily guarded room housing the tooth is open to devotees and tourists. However, you don’t actually see the tooth. It’s kept in a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa), which contains a series of six dagoba caskets of diminishing size. As well as the revered main temple, the complex includes a series of smaller temples, shrines, and museums.

Kandy Lake

Kandy Lake, also known as Kiri Muhuda or the Sea of Milk, is an artificial lake in the heart of the hill city of Kandy, Sri Lanka, built in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe next to the Temple of the Tooth. Over the years, it was reduced in size. It is a protected lake, with fishing banned. There are many legends and folklore regarding the lake. One such is that the small island at its center was used by the king’s helm for bathing and was connected to the palace by a secret tunnel.

Kandy View Point

As a popular tourist spot, the area brings in a large number of peddlers, though they often sell sub-par items. The area also has a reputation for high pickpocket activity, so keep an eye on your belongings. From the hill, you can enjoy great views over the lake and the city as a whole.
