kandy
the spiritual heart of the highlands
Kandy, the island’s "Hill Capital" and spiritual heart, is defined by its quiet aristocracy and misty highlands. As a first-time traveler, you must witness the daily rituals at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic before strolling around the historic Kandy Lake. From the vibrant drumming of Kandyan dance performances to the lush canopy of the Royal Botanic Gardens, the city offers a profound connection to Sri Lanka's royal past and a peaceful, contemplative atmosphere.
