Discover Kandy – Sri Lanka’s Crown Jewel
The Enchanting Hill Capital
Nestled amidst emerald mountains and misty valleys, Kandy is the cultural heartbeat of Sri Lanka. This UNESCO World Heritage City (since 1988) blends ancient traditions with breathtaking natural beauty. As the last royal capital of Sri Lankan kings, Kandy safeguards the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), where Buddha’s tooth relic is enshrined.
The city’s picturesque Kandy Lake, vibrant Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, and surrounding tea plantations create a paradise for nature lovers. By night, witness traditional Kandyan dance performances with fiery drummers and acrobats. Explore Kandy’s rich history on Kandy Wikipedia.
