Kandy City Tour
Discover Kandy, the cultural heart of Sri Lanka
KANDY City Tour
Welcome to our Kandy City Tour package! Before we dive into the details, let us introduce you to the charm and significance of Kandy.
Kandy is the cultural capital of Sri Lanka’s central highlands and holds a special place in the country’s history and heritage. It is especially important to Buddhists around the world, as it is home to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic.
With a history spanning over 600 years, Kandy was established as a capital in the 15th century by King Sena Sammatha Wickramabahu. Later, it became the last stronghold of the Sinhalese kingdom, protected by its natural mountainous terrain. In 1815, the British took control of Kandy, marking the end of the last Sri Lankan king, Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe. The city remained under British rule until independence in 1948.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage City, Kandy is beautifully set beside the Mahaweli River and surrounded by lush mountains. Sitting about 450 meters above sea level, it enjoys a pleasant climate throughout the year, making it a perfect destination for travelers seeking culture, history, and natural beauty.
