Make time for the moments.
Explore the spiritual and cultural heart of the hills in Kandy, the former capital of the Sinhala kings. The lake, sacred buildings and nearby gardens give the city a gentle rhythm and a strong sense of history.
A visit to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is a central experience. Remember that it is an active religious place rather than simply a sightseeing monument. Wear appropriate clothing and follow local visitor rules.
Add a walk by Kandy Lake, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya, local crafts or a cultural performance. Velina can help you connect Kandy with Sigiriya or tea country for a longer personalised route.
