The Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in the world. It houses the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha and attracts pilgrims and tourists alike. The temple’s stunning architecture, daily rituals, and spiritual atmosphere make it a highlight of any Kandy visit.
Royal Botanical Gardens, Peradeniya
Located just outside Kandy, the Royal Botanical Gardens is a peaceful oasis filled with over 4,000 species of plants. From massive palm avenues to exotic orchids and giant bamboo, it’s a paradise for nature lovers and photographers. Don’t miss the beautiful hanging bridge and lush green lawns!
Kandy Lake
Right in the heart of the city lies Kandy Lake, a man-made lake built in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe. A walk along the lakeside offers a peaceful escape from the city buzz. It’s a great spot to watch the sunset or simply enjoy the reflections of surrounding trees and temples.
