Kandy – The Cultural Heart of Sri Lanka
Nestled amidst misty hills and lush tea plantations, Kandy is a vibrant city that serves as the spiritual and cultural heart of Sri Lanka. Home to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic—one of the most revered Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the world—Kandy offers visitors a serene blend of history, tradition, and natural beauty.
The city's colonial charm, scenic Kandy Lake, and bustling local markets provide a picturesque backdrop for exploration. Each year, Kandy comes alive during the Esala Perahera, a spectacular festival featuring traditional dancers, drummers, and majestic elephants adorned in elaborate costumes.
