Kandy is an ancient city situated on a plateau surrounded by mountains. The warm and cool tangled climate gives you an opportunity to enjoy a refreshing change from the tropical heat of the rest of the island. The city is filled with scenic tea plantations and bio-diverse rainforests. Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, Udawattakele Forest Reserve and Arthur’s Seat are the picturesque greeneries with species of birds. The city’s heart is scenic Kandy Lake and Kandy is popular for sacred sites, including the Temple of the Tooth celebrated with the grand Esala Perahera annual procession in the months of June/July. National Museum of Kandy, Kandy City Center and Kandy Market are also places of interest.
