Kandy

The last royal capital and home of the Sacred Tooth Relic

About Kandy

Kandy was the capital of the last Sri Lankan kingdom and remains the island's cultural heart. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, draws pilgrims from across the Buddhist world.

The city wraps around a tranquil lake and is surrounded by forested hills. Nearby, the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya are among the finest in Asia.

Each July or August, the Esala Perahera fills the streets with a spectacular procession of dancers, drummers and ceremonial elephants.
