Kandy Day Tour

Day Tours

Trade the coast for the misty hills of the Cultural Triangle on this full-day journey to Kandy, Sri Lanka’s serene hill capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city. Your private chauffeur guide collects you early and takes the scenic inland route, arriving in time to explore the city’s most treasured landmarks before the afternoon crowds set in.

Begin at the golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, one of Buddhism’s most revered shrines, then take an unhurried lakeside walk around Kandy Lake for postcard views of the surrounding hills. The Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens follow, home to over 4,000 plant species spread across sweeping lawns and avenues of towering palms.

After a leisurely lunch in the city, round off the afternoon with a working tea factory tour and a lively traditional Kandyan dance performance – a fitting finale before the drive back to your hotel or the airport.
