Kandy city tour
Kandy, a large city in central Sri Lanka, is located on a plateau surrounded by mountains, tea plantations, and biodiverse rainforest. The city’s heart is scenic Kandy Lake (Bogambara Lake), popular for strolling. It’s famed for its sacred Buddhist sites, including the Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) shrine, and for its Esala Perahera annual procession.
Join us for an interesting stroll through many interesting sites including the Sacred City of Kandy, now a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Sacred Temple of the Tooth, the Kandy Lake, Queen’s Bathing Pavilion and Royal Audience Hall, The Kandy Town Hall, The President’s House and a heritage building found inside the Bogambara Prison.
Also, pay a visit to the St. Paul’s Church, the old Lawyers office that was once the Army Barracks during the reign of the Kandyan Kings and later used for the same purpose by the British. Enjoy the fascinating stories that unfold; re-live what may have happened in the intriguing Royal Empire under its last independent monarchy, before it came under British rule in 1815.
Drive up the mountain to the ‘View Point’, a breath-taking spot from where one can have a bird’s eye view of the city of Kandy and take some great photographs too.
