- Royal Botanical Gardens - The Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya is renowned as one of Asia’s finest botanical gardens. It is beautifully maintained, covering an area of over 147 acres, and features more than 10,000 plant species. The garden is particularly famous for its extensive orchid collection and also houses the National Herbarium of Sri Lanka. The picturesque pathways and lush green lawns are ideal for photography. The garden’s history dates back to 1371 when King Wickramabahu established his council chamber here. After 1815, the British used it as a commercial crop arboretum, and it was officially opened as the Royal Botanical Garden in 1843. Since then, it has welcomed visits from British royalty and distinguished guests worldwide. Notably, during World War II, it served as the South East Asia Command headquarters under Lord Louis Mountbatten. The Peradeniya Royal Botanical Garden is located approximately 5.5 km from Kandy.
- Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - Kandy, the second most populous city in Sri Lanka, is nestled among misty mountains and a winding river. The landscape is dominated by lush forests, spice lands, and tea plantations. Historically, Kandy was the last Sinhalese capital until 1815 and remains a stronghold of Sri Lankan culture and tradition.
The city is centered around the Sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, which enshrines the revered left canine tooth of the Buddha. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the most sacred places of worship in the Buddhist world. Thousands of pilgrims visit Kandy regularly to honor Buddha, creating a spiritual atmosphere. Each year, the “Sri Dalada Perahera,” an annual procession held in July or August, draws thousands of local and international visitors to the temple. It is undoubtedly the most vibrant celebration of Sri Lankan culture, with the final night-time Randoli procession being one of the most colorful events globally. Even on a typical day, Kandy is bustling, adding to its charm. The lively commercial city is bordered by a stunning artificial lake.
- Geragama Tea Factory - Sri Lanka is a leading tea producer globally, with numerous tea plantations across the island. Instead of automated processing, Sri Lanka continues to use the mechanized colonial method, ensuring superior quality compared to newer brands. The Giragama Tea Plantation offers comprehensive tours of its tea processing factory, providing insights into the refinement of black teas and the intricate process developed during the British colonial era. The factory is situated just outside Kandy.
