Things to do in Kandy

Welcome to one of Sri Lanka's most sacred places: the city of Kandy. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its precious Buddhist relics, this picturesque hill town and lush surroundings makes a perfect destination for those looking to see more than just Sri Lanka's beaches. Take a private Kandy tour and get to know the city with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide. Stroll with your guide through Kandy's delightful town centre, with its jumble of old shops, restaurants and bustling marketplace. North of the city's lake, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic houses Sri Lanka's most important Buddhist artefact. Walk through shady Udawattakelle Sanctuary, but watch out for the cheeky monkeys! If you're lucky enough to be traveling here in mid-summer, you can be witness to the fantastic Kandy Esala Perahera festival, which draws people from all over Sri Lanka. Enjoy experiencing the many layers of Sri Lankan culture and history on your private Kandy tour.
