KANDY, home to the Temple of the Tooth, must-see when touring Sri Lanka .The blessing ceremony (puja) either morning or evening is very moving, but be aware that the crowds are huge! You can see the Kandyan Dancers and Drummers one evening with great fun at Avanhala close to temple of tooth or at YMCA-KAndy. Also you can visit the lovely Botanic Gardens on the outskirts. Highly recommend a night visit to Kandy, as the lights around the lake are lovely. During daytime, just walking round Kandy is very interesting and take a look at the old Queens Hotel in the centre, where you can enjoy afternoon tea (very colonial) for next to no cost.
Budhdha statue At Bahirawakanda
This statue situated at the highest point of the Kandy City on one end. This statue you see from everywhere in the city angle. You can ask for Three wheel driver to get there, walking may be little difficult as you need to climb lot.
In the mean time PUB at bake house at city centre gives you very colonial feeling with lot of gatherings & shaking beer mugs with different kind of people & guests. foods are so good, liitle bit expensive, but it is a kind of feeling you need to have while your stay at Kandy.

Kandy market place is also a place to visit while your stay in Sri Lanka. You can see the true Sri Lankan life style with different types of stalls from fish , meat, vegetables to spices, clothes, bags etc. It is a one of the most busiest place in the Town. the experience in market place is true Sri Lankan & you'll never get it any where.
Kandy Market Place
Kandy lake is the pride of kandy City. The beauty it adds to the City is countless. Either morning walk around the lake or night walk around the lake in nice breezy weather will give you a life time memorable pleasure. You can have a walk around the lake less than 40 min. In the night with
glooming lights of the temple the view is superb.
If you are looking for meal Devons , White House, delight & bake House highly recommended. In addition to there are so many pastry shops in the city in every corner basically you can rely on them for your meals. My personal favorite is Muslim Hotel where you can have spicy meals from Rotti , kottu to rice & Curry. It is quite busy place & food Hygiene is Average.
Kandy City Centre is meant for the high end consumers with big spending capacity. Most of the shops are belongs to branded items, quite compact area with all the supermarkets , banks & shops. If you are looking for quality, Kandy City Centre is the place to visit.
Kandy view point is a place where you can see whole town from the most highest point of the city. The view is much beautiful at night with all the lights.
