Kandy, broken from Kanda in Sinhala simply means the hill. I think that would clearly outline the geography of the city. Kandy is a major tourist attraction and world-famous for the Kandy Perahera. This extravagant parade is happening once a year, a magical event that is one of the main events of our culture. Tens of thousands of visitors around the world visit Kandy during the month of July to witness this event. Kandy also hosts and protects Lord Buddha’s tooth in a beautiful palace, which is sacred to all Buddhists around the world. Sri Lankans believe that relic brings prosperity and protects the island. Royal Botanical Garden & Udawaththakele, a forest behind the Dalada Maligawa (Temple of Tooth), are few other attractions in Kandy that will create pleasant memories for visitors.

This an artificial lake in the center of Kandy city. This is an oasis in the middle of the Kandy city. Built-in the 1800s by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe the lake has a magnificent view which one would never get tired of. You can take a nice and calm walk along the lake and also observe the Temple of the Tooth and its architecture.

This a temple in the royal palace complex in Kandy which houses the sacred relic of the tooth of the Lord Buddha. In the Buddhist, the culture and the history, sacred relic of the tooth of the Lord Buddha is one of the most religious inheritance. Also, it has a strong history too. There are many religious activities are there around the temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. The Kandy Esala Perahara ( a pageant ) is one of the most beautiful activity. This is a World Heritage Site nominated by UNESCO. This is a must-visit site in Sri Lanka not only as a place to visit but also a site with historical, cultural, religious value. In addition, the natural beauty around the temple is adding a great atmosphere to the same.
