Best Places to Visit in Kandy

Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's hill country, Kandy is a city that exudes charm and history. Known for its scenic beauty and rich cultural heritage, Kandy offers a plethora of attractions that beckon travelers from all corners of the globe. If you're planning a visit, allow us at Happytripz to guide you through some of the most enchanting spots in this ancient city.

The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

At the top of the list is the Sri Dalada Maligawa, or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. This revered site houses Sri Lanka's most important Buddhist relic – a tooth of the Buddha. Visitors can experience the grandeur of the temple complex and its palatial buildings, which are a testament to the city's historical significance. For a deeper understanding of its importance, a quick read on its history is highly recommended.

Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens

A short drive from the city center will take you to the Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens. This botanical paradise spans 147 acres and is home to more than 4000 species of plants, including an impressive collection of orchids. The gardens are a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic with loved ones. Check out the location here and plan your visit.

Kandy Lake

The centerpiece of the city is the serene Kandy Lake. Built in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe, the lake offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. A walk around its perimeter at dusk is nothing short of magical, with the temple's reflection shimmering on the water's surface.

Udawattakele Forest Reserve

For nature enthusiasts, the Udawattakele Forest Reserve is a must-visit. This historic forest reserve provides a habitat for a variety of flora and fauna and offers several walking trails for an immersive experience in nature. It's a great place to observe the local wildlife and enjoy the tranquility of the forest.
