Kandy

Nestled amidst misty green hills around a serene lake, Kandy is the cultural beating heart of Sri Lanka. Experience the solemn rituals at Sri Dalada Maligawa, stroll the Royal Botanical Gardens of Peradeniya, and enjoy Kandyan traditional drumming and fire dances. With unique cultural heritage and natural spectacles taking place throughout the year, the best time to visit would be December to April (Esala Perahera in July/August) during the season.

Apart from the primary landmarks, there are lush surrounding water systems, wildlife sanctuaries, village tracks, ancient rock temples, and scenic viewpoints to explore across Kandy.
