This tour covers Kandy’s cultural highlights, including the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a walk around Kandy Lake and, where available, a traditional dance performance. A visit to the Peradeniya Royal Botanic Gardens can be added for travellers interested in the island’s colonial-era horticulture. The pace is relaxed, mixing sacred sites with markets and lakeside scenery. This tour works well as a day trip from Colombo, or as part of a longer highland stay.
