About Kandy
Kandy is the cultural heart of Sri Lanka, nestled in the hills at 500m elevation. The city revolves around the sacred Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Tooth Relic), believed to house a tooth relic of the Buddha. Kandy Lake, the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya, traditional Kandyan dance performances and the vibrant Esala Perahera festival make Kandy one of Asia's most culturally rich destinations.
