Additional Information

Kandy, a burgeoning city in Sri Lanka’s center, nestles within a verdant mountain-rimmed plateau that teems with tea farms and diverse rainforests. The city pulses around the picturesque Kandy Lake (also known as Bogambara Lake), a favorite spot for leisure walks. Kandy’s significance lies in its revered Buddhist landmarks, especially the famous Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) which is at the center of the grand annual parade, Esala Perahera.

Our city tour of Kandy sets off at the esteemed Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Enveloped by a golden roof, this temple hosts the revered tooth relic of Lord Buddha.

Upon exiting the temple, guests can embark on a serene walk around Kandy Lake. Our expedition continues to Bahirawakanda Temple, followed by a stop at Kandy View Point.

Our final stops include a trip to the Gem Museum and a shopping spree, offering guests the opportunity to collect souvenirs to commemorate their visit to Kandy.

wonderful - "excellent tour with chandu" Me and my daughter made a tour with Chandu during 5 days exploring the south of Sri Lanka. Everything worked very well and he was very receptive for our wishes. He guided us throughout and showed good knowledge in everything from Buddhism, animal life, culture to the social, economic and political context of Sri Lanka. We made a great friend in Chandu during our tour and hope that we one day can return to also explore the northern part of this beautiful country.

Best Local guide in Skri Lanka - If you are looking for a genuine experience of Sri Lankan landscape and culture, Chandhu is the right man for you! He accompanied us for a whole week in Sri Lanka making our journey as most comfortable and enjoyable as possible. He picked us up from the Colombo airport and took us to wonderful places, from the sea side to the centre of the island. Being from Kandy (one of the most beautiful city of the country), he was also able to give us a great tour of Sigirya and the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend him to everyone who's looking for an adventure in Ceylon!
