Planning a visit to the beautiful city of Kandy during your trip to Sri Lanka? Then here are a few top things to see and do during your time there.
The Temple of the Tooth Relic
Located to the north of the Kandy Lake, the much-revered Temple of the Tooth Relic is one of the most remarkable places to visit while in Kandy. The temple is home to the sacred tooth of the Lord of Buddha, and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Kandy Lake
Another popular must-visit spot in Kandy next to the Temple of the Tooth, the Kandy Lake is a great spot to spend a few hours under the cooling shade of towering trees, especially during a hot afternoon. The lake can easily be reached from Kandy holiday bungalows such as the likes of Mountbatten Bungalow with ease.
Royal Botanical Garden
Considered to be one of the best attractions in Kandy, the Royal Botanical Garden is vernal space to explore. Located close to the Mahaweli River, the garden is home to over 400 species of plants and spans a total of 147 acres.
Ceylon Tea Museum
Keen to discover the tea culture of the island? Then pay a visit to the Ceylon Tea Museum located in Hantane, tracing its origins to the year 1925. Round off a visit with a free cup of fragrant Ceylon tea.
Huluganga Fall
Just 30 km from Kandy lies the quaint town of Dumbara, which is home to the majestic Huluganga Falls. Towering at 75 meters high, the waterfall is definitely an amazing site to take in. Opting to visit the spot with a guide is highly recommended.
