TOUR SITES
Kandy’s focal point is, without doubt, the DALANDA MALIGAWA, where the scared Tooth Relic of the Buddha is enshrined.
The ROYAL BOTANICAL GARDENS, Peradeniya, begun as a pleasure garden by a Sinhala king and are 147 acres in extent.
The magnificently-sited Univeristy of Peradeniya, with its traditional Sinhala architecture, is worth a visit.
For dedicated shoppers, Kandy is truly heaven….visit the government run Laksala or the Kandyan Arts Association for quality and value in wood, copper, silver, brass, ivory, ebony, bronze, ceramics, lacquer work, hand-looms, batiks, jewellery, filigree, antiques, rush and reed ware.
