Sri Lanka travel is not complete without a visit to the Temple of the Tooth, a true symbol of this proud nation in its own right. Jetwing Travels offers Sri Lanka tours that include detailed visits to this sacred site which has for many centuries served as a true symbol of the nation. The Relic of the Tooth has played a very important part in the politics of those times since it was considered that whoever holds the relic is the one who has the right to the throne in the country. Also a UNESCO world heritage site, the Temple is located side by side with the scenic Kandy Lake which provides picture postcard perfection to the entire scenery. A temple revered by Buddhists all over the world, the temple and its premises constantly emanate a sense of serenity that is truly alluring in its own way. The Temple also hosts its own procession, a symbol of time-honoured Sinhalese tradition that is a true mark of the proud heritage that marks the nation as one of the kind.
