• Royal Botanical Gardens - Located approximately 5.5 km west of Kandy in Sri Lanka’s Central Province, the Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya attracted 1.2 million local visitors and 400,000 international tourists in 2016. Situated near the Mahaweli River, the longest river in Sri Lanka, the gardens are famous for their orchid collection. They boast over 4,000 plant species, including orchids, spices, medicinal plants, and palm trees. The “National Herbarium of Sri Lanka” is also part of the gardens.
• Kandy War Cemetery - During World War II, Kandy served as the headquarters for the South East Asian Command, playing a crucial role in the war effort. The cemetery, formerly known as the Pitakande Military Cemetery, was taken over by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and is now a permanent war cemetery. It is the final resting place for soldiers of the British Empire who died during the war, including 107 British soldiers, 35 East African soldiers, 26 Sri Lankan soldiers, 23 Indian soldiers, 6 Canadian soldiers, 3 Italian soldiers, and 1 French soldier. Over 75% of these soldiers served in the army, with the remainder in the Air Force, Navy, and National Fire Service.
• Bahiravokanda Vihara Buddha Statue - Approximately 2 kilometers from Kandy’s city center is the Sri Maha Bodhi Viharaya, also known as the Bahirawakanda Temple, a Theravada Buddhist temple. The temple is renowned for its massive white statue of Lord Buddha, the Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha Statue, which stands at 88 feet tall, making it one of the tallest Buddha statues on the island.
• Kandy View Point - Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kandy in all its splendor. Enjoy the stunning view of lush greenery surrounding the sparkling waters of the iconic Kandy Lake, the Temple of the Tooth Relic overlooking the city, and the iconic buildings against a blue sky with hints of white. Situated 1,790 feet above sea level, Arthur’s Seat, or the Kandy View Point, offers a spectacular panoramic view of Kandy. A platform is available to enhance your viewing experience. This viewpoint was identified during the British colonial period. Legend has it that Mr. Arthur, a planter, owned a bungalow above the current Arthur’s Seat and used to view Kandy City from a stone seat under a tree in front of his bungalow.
• Kandy Lake Club - Cultural Dance Show - The Kandyan, or up-country (udarata natum), dances are considered the classical dance tradition of Sri Lanka. Traditionally performed by male dancers, the technique, partly derived from South India, emphasizes dynamism, powerful footwork, leaps, and whirls. It has a rich repertoire, partly originating from ancient indigenous ritual dances and partly influenced by South Indian dances.
• Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic - The subject of intense historical conflict, the tooth, believed to be one of Buddha’s teeth and a significant Buddhist relic, was reportedly brought to Sri Lanka in the 4th century AD and has been central to local politics ever since. Legend suggests that possession of the tooth grants governance over the local area. The Temple of the Tooth was initially constructed in 1603, with the current structure dating back to the 18th century.
