Tour Overview
This carefully planned one-day cultural tour around Kandy begins with a visit to Bahirawakanda Temple, offering breathtaking views of the city and a peaceful start to the day. From there, travelers journey to the historic Gadaladeniya Temple, famous for its ancient South Indian-influenced stone architecture, and then to the majestic Lankathilaka Temple, perched on a rock with stunning panoramic surroundings and beautifully preserved frescoes. The morning ends with a visit to Ambakke Devalaya, renowned for its intricate wooden carvings, followed by a well-deserved lunch break.
In the afternoon, the tour continues with a visit to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, an iconic site for Buddhists worldwide. This spiritual journey deepens with an exploration of the Four Devalayas (shrines), where local traditions and religious practices can be experienced firsthand. As evening falls, guests are guided to their seats to witness the grand Kandy Esala Perahera—an unforgettable cultural procession filled with lights, traditional dancers, and lavishly decorated elephants.
