Kandy has a fascinating history and culture. It is famous for its Buddhist temples, monasteries, spice gardens, and nature reserves. It was also the last capital city of the erstwhile Sinhalese kingdom.

After a hearty Sinhalese breakfast buffet of hoppers, string hoppers, and pol roti, head out to explore Kandy. You will visit Kandy Lake, also known as the Sea of Milk, named after a pond called Kiri Muhuda (Sea of Milk) that existed before it was converted into a lake.
Later, head to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for housing the Buddha's canine tooth. Every year, the Sinhalese celebrate the 10-day Esala Prehara, or the Festival of the Tooth, during which the relic is taken out in procession. End your tour of Kandy with some shopping at the Kandy Market Square.
