#kandy

Kandy, the hilltop heartthrob of Sri Lanka, cradled by misty mountains and fueled by endless cups of tea, is where sacred meets slightly sweaty. Wander the Temple of the Tooth, where ancient relics vibe with incense and quiet reverence. Then hop on a bus that feels like a rollercoaster, winding through emerald hills like a caffeinated goat. Watch monkeys judge you from treetops as you ponder whether the lake is actually peaceful or just plotting. Kandy doesn’t just welcome you—it wraps you in a warm sarong of chaos, culture, and questionable street snacks. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. It’s Kandy.#kandy #kandytrip #srilanka #travel #thingstodo #naturalwonders

Located in Peradeniya, Kandy, Sri Lanka. Must visit insta worthy photo spot in Sri Lanka. This place is huge so it takes at least 3hrs to explore everything. But if you are able to book a ride through the garden , it will definitely help you out to catch everything up while some explaining from the guide. #familytrip #srilanka #kandy #garden #instatravel #photography #flowers 🕰️Business Hours: ~5pm 📍Address: Peradeniya, Kandy, Sri Lanka

The Kandy Lake, also known as Kiri Muhuda or the Sea of Milk, is indeed a picturesque and serene spot in the heart of Kandy, Sri Lanka. Created in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe, it serves as a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city. The lake’s lush surroundings, charming island in the center, and the historical and cultural significance it holds make it a favorite among both locals and tourists. Walking around the lake, with its scenic views and peaceful ambiance, truly adds a touch of glamour and tranquility to the vibrant city of Kandy. We went for a relaxing walk around the lake. #MissionaryLife #srilanka #kandy #lakeside

Getting There - Getting to Kandy Lake is very easy and is of no trouble. It is located in the heart of Kandy and is walkable from anywhere in the city center! Food & Restaurants - Exploring Kandy Lake offers the opportunity to indulge in a variety of SRI LANKAN delights. There are MANY dining options to suit different tastes and budgets. I went to the Lake Viewpoint Cafe, which is close to the Arthurs Rock next to Kandy Lake! It serves nice curry, string hoppers and got myself a smoothie treat under the heat! Shopping - Since it is a touristy area, there are tourist markets and souvenir shops nearby. I got some fridge magnets and some Sri Lankan spices such as cinnamon! #kandy #srilanka

This is Kandy, Sri Lanka Had a lovely stay at a brand new hotel The Trees, walked all around the city and lake, visited the Buddhist Temple of the Tooth, and soaked up time at the rooftop pool. Ended the day making new friends from London at Hideout Lounge and riding in my first Tuk Tuk! Beautiful and well maintained park definitely justified the ticket price. Worth a visit account at least 2 hours, could easily bring in some food (or buy some at the park cafe) and spend a whole day. #kandy #srilanka

Did you know that Sri Lanka is home to one of the worlds most beautiful train journeys? Ella to Kandy!🚂🚞🌍🇱🇰 Many people travel to Sri Lanka with this travel itinerary in mind and it’s unmissable on your trip to this beautiful country ✈️🌱🌴 this seven hour journey rolls through the amazing jungles of central Sri Lanka…💭 it passes over rolling mountains, local villages, picturesque views and many happy passers by 🤍 along this journey, you can wave to the locals who love seeing this train just as much as the tourists!🚂🇱🇰 you can see monkeys swinging through trees, miles of greenery beneath you and the curling of the train behind you 🏔️ you’ve never seen scenery like this, especially on a train journey 🚊 📌 Central Province, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 start in Ella and travel to Kandy (or vice versa) 🇱🇰🚂❤️ #srilanka #ella #naturelover #train #mytravelhacks #trainjourney #kandy #landscape

🇱🇰 Sri Lanka has a railway network with a total length of 1508 km. The route from Kandy to Badulla via Ella spanning 183 km is often regarded as the most scenic train journey in Sri Lanka. The 7.5-hour journey meanders through cool misty mountains and vast tea plantations dotted with brightly dressed tea pickers. Reserved seat tickets in first class, second class and third class carriages can be booked online in advance. Most passengers in these carriages are tourists. Most locals opt for unreserved seat tickets which are much cheaper. We booked second class and third class carriages on two separate journeys and the carriages were clean and comfortable, but the third class carriage was slightly more cramped. Many tourists prefer to sit or stand in one of the open train doorways, with their feet dangling above the track. Most tourists alight at either Nanu Oya (nearest station to Nuwara Eliya) or Ella. #srilanka #nuwaraeliya #train #scenicride #ella #trainjourney #trainride #kandy #teaplantation #mountainview #scenictrain #tripblazers

The Manor House is an outstanding yet affordable hotel which will take your breath away, located in Kandy. I stayed there and felt absolutely spoilt. The staff and owners are so friendly and the environment is rich in history, well maintain and peaceful. Book way in advance as there are not may rooms in this hotel. It has a restaurant, outdoor swimming pool, a bar and a beautiful garden where you can enjoy your coffee in the morning. Being in this hotel feels like a step back in time due to its colonial features. Despite it is a very old mansion, it was restored into a unique and elegant boutique hotel. #createwithtrip #kandy #srilanka #manorhouse

In December 2024, my trip to Sri Lanka moved from Sigiriya in the central part to Kandy. Early in the morning, when the weather was good, I went to Lake Kandy, which is about a 15-minute walk from my accommodation, Mount View Inn. I arrived at the lakeside before 8:00 a.m. The temperature, as shown on my smartwatch, was 26°C and the humidity was 58%. It was quite easy to move around. The cityscape was very compact, so it was hard to get lost, and I walked around the lakeside and had breakfast and lunch at a reasonable food court on the roof of a multi-storey car park opposite Kandy city center before returning. #kandy #SriLanka #TempleoftheTooth Relic #WorldHeritage

As the sun rose over the misty hills of Kandy, I made my way to the revered Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a place steeped in history and spirituality. The air was thick with the scent of incense, and the sound of drums echoed through the courtyard, setting a reverent tone for the day. Entering the temple, I was struck by the intricate wood carvings and the sense of serenity that pervaded the space. Pilgrims, dressed in white, moved slowly, their hands clasped in prayer, as they approached the shrine that houses the sacred tooth of Buddha. The golden canopy glinted in the soft light, a testament to the devotion and craftsmanship that have preserved this relic through the ages. As I joined the line to offer my respects, I felt a deep connection to the spiritual heritage of Sri Lanka. The energy within the temple was palpable, a mix of awe, devotion, and peace. After paying my respects, I took a moment to sit by the tranquil lake outside, reflecting on the significance of this sacred site. The visit left me with a profound sense of calm and reverence, a reminder of the rich cultural and spiritual tapestry that defines this beautiful island.#srilanka #travel #asia #srilankatravel #kandy #buddhism #travelguide #localguides #historicallandmarks

During our stay in Kandy City View Hotel, we had a hearty pizza dinner in Vito Wood Fired Pizza which is located at the top floor of the hotel. It is a cozy pizza place with a lovely rooftop view of Kandy city. The restaurant is well known for its authentic Italian thin crust pizzas with a twist of Sri Lankan flavors baked in wood fired oven in an open kitchen. It also offers lasagnas, pasta, salads, desserts, juices, soft drinks and cocktails. The food we ordered was decent at very friendly prices. A medium 9 inch pizza costs around SGD 5.

We had a pleasant stay in Kandy City View Hotel in the heart of Kandy, which is famed for several sacred Buddhist sites. The hotel is about 2 km from the famous Temple of the tooth Relic. Our room was clean and spacious. There were 2 single beds and a queen bed, perfect for family of 4. There was a balcony in the room which offered spectacular views of the city. There is a famous pizza restaurant, Vito Wood Fired Pizza, on the top floor of the hotel so we didn't have to leave the hotel to have dinner. The hotel was very accommodative to our request to serve breakfast in our room as we needed to leave early morning to catch the train.
