Kandy (Maha Nuvara in Sinhala, £¿ in Tamil) is the name used by British invaders for the city of Senkadagala (Mahanuwara) in the centre of Sri Lanka. It is the capital of the Central Province and Mahanwara District. Senkadagala lies in the midst of hills in the Kandy Valley which crosses an area of tropical plantations, mainly tea.
The Temple of the Tooth Relic
- The Temple of the Tooth houses a tooth that came from the mouth of Lord Buddha, and is consequently considered one of Sri Lanka's most holy shrines. The temple is open from dawn to dusk.
- The Pinawela Elephant Orphanage has about seventy semi-tame elephants roaming freely around this wonderful sanctuary. Feeding and bathing times are especially enjoyable. You can either hire a taxi to take you there or, if travelling on a budget, get a bus to Kagulle (about an hour away) for about R40/-, asking the driver to drop you off at the turn for Pinnewala which is 3 miles or so before you reach the town, and catch another local bus for the last 6 km or so.
- The Royal Botanical Garden is the best botanical garden in Sri Lanka and one of the best ones in the region. Dates back to the ancient kings of the country. British colonials have changed the looks of it. You will be able to see many of the species in the region. Has a nice orchid house and a forest garden. If you happen to visit the place don't forget to drive through the University of Peradeniya the most scenic and the largest university in the country.
Peradeniya Botanical Gardens
- Bahirawakanda temple. The ominipresent Buddha statue seen from everywhere in Kandy city. Take a tuk tuk ride to the Temple, just 1 km away from the Kandy city.
- The Tea Museum, Hantane, Kandy. The ancient Tea Factory of Hantana Estate is converted in to a Museum dedicated to the history of Sri Lanka Tea. Run by the Sri lanka Tea Board.
- Udawattakele sanctuary, the Forest located "in the Kandy city", was planned and maintained as the part of the Royal palace complex of the Sinhala Kings. Tropical forest, wild life and some interesting ponds can be seen there. (Warning - Wear long trousers after rain. There are lots of leeches about!)
- Temples around Kandy city are popular tourist attraction. Most famous temples are:
Gadaladeniya, Lankathilaka Viharaya, Embekke Devalaya, Dodanwala Devalaya, Degaldoruwa, Hindagala Viharaya, Madawala Viharaya and Galmaduwa Viharaya.

Sunet over Kandy lake

Sunset over Kandy lake in Sri Lanka. The lake itself is right in the middle of Sri Lanka's 2nd biggest city and is surrounded by smog and dirt. You wouldn't know it though. This was shortly before a big rain storm...
