Kandy

As the last royal kingdom of Sri Lanka, Kandy holds a special place in the island’s history and culture. The city is centered around the serene Kandy Lake and the magnificent Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic), which houses one of Buddhism’s most venerated relics. Visitors can explore the lush Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya, witness traditional Kandyan dance performances, and enjoy the cool climate of this hill city. It is the perfect blend of spirituality, history, and natural beauty.
