Kandy, the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, offers more than just the famous Temple of the Tooth. This sacred city is a melting pot of tradition, music, art, and spirituality that continues to inspire both locals and travelers alike.

The Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) is one of Buddhism’s most sacred relics. Located in the heart of Kandy, it draws devotees from around the globe, especially during the annual Esala Perahera.

Kandyan dance performances showcase the region's rich artistic legacy. With traditional costumes, rhythmic drums, and dramatic movements, they tell age-old stories passed down generations.

A stroll around Kandy Lake offers peaceful views and a glimpse of colonial-era architecture. The lake is both a scenic spot and a cultural landmark interwoven with the city’s history.

Don’t miss the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya — a lush escape just outside the city, home to over 4,000 species of plants, including rare orchids and towering palms.
