Kandy is one of the most important cultural cities in Sri Lanka, located in the central hills of the island. It is home to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major religious attraction in Sri Lanka.
The city offers cultural dance performances, local markets, scenic views around Kandy Lake, and easy access to nearby tea plantations and spice gardens. Kandy is a key destination on most Sri Lanka tour itineraries, connecting the Cultural Triangle with the hill country.
Kandy invites travellers to discover its deep soul through sacred traditions, cultural performances, and scenic tranquillity. Wander through temples filled with centuries of devotion, walk serene lake paths framed by frangipani trees, or witness the colour and energy of traditional Kandyan dancers under lantern light.
Here, every ritual and landscape reveals how faith and nature have shaped a city that still beats to its ancestral rhythm.
