Overview
Set amidst mist-covered hills and centered around a serene, picturesque lake, Kandy is the spiritual and cultural heart of Sri Lanka. As the last capital of the ancient kings, this UNESCO World Heritage city proudly preserves its unique traditions. It is globally revered for the golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, which houses the tooth of the Buddha. From mesmerizing traditional Kandyan dance performances to the sprawling Royal Botanical Gardens of Peradeniya, Kandy is a vibrant gateway to the island's majestic high country.
December to April is best for pleasant weather. However, July or August is highly sought after to witness the grand Esala Perahera festival.
