Overview
After Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, Kandy is one of the country’s largest cities. This city is also known as the “City of Kings,” and it is the indisputable historical and cultural capital of the country. Our top Kandy tours will give you the opportunity to go by rail to this spectacular city and see the most well-known sights such as the Temple of the Tooth Relic, the Royal Botanic Gardens of Peradeniya, and other prominent temples.
Kandy, more popularly known as the hill capital of Sri Lanka, is an attractive tourist destination. The city is approximately 115 kilometers from Colombo and is the second biggest city in Sri Lanka. Kandy has a profusion of culture with a history dating back to the 15th century.
The lovely countryside around Kandy contains a great variety of attractions, among them the beautiful Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. The region’s cultural heritage can be seen in the various historic temples set at intervals throughout the area, dating from the heyday of the Kandyan kingdom. You can see the compelling traditional Kandyan dancing at one of the city’s several cultural performance venues. To get away from it all, visit the rugged Knuckles Range, just to the east. This is Sri Lanka’s hill country, the last great wilderness area and a great place for trekking and bird watching.
