Kandy District Unmissables

Kandy District serves as Sri Lanka's spiritual heart, centered around the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the historic Royal Palace complex. The region features the expansive Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya and the mist-covered Knuckles Mountain Range, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visitors can explore the colonial architecture of St. Paul's Church, view the city from the Bahirawakanda Buddha statue, and walk the perimeter of the man-made Kandy Lake, built by the last Sinhalese king in 1807.
