Kandy and the Tea Country have a fascinating history that’s central to the heritage of Sri Lanka and home to many of the island’s cultural gems.
Stopping off here is essential in order to visit the Temple of the Tooth or to lose oneself in the attractive Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, and also to access the vast expansive tea plantations and mountainside hugging, montane forests.
Kandy is famed for being home to Buddha’s tooth and can be seen in the courtyard of the Temple of the Tooth. This precious relic attracts white-clad pilgrims, bearing lotus blossoms and frangipani, every day. It is a moving experience to join the local worships in their morning worship.
The Botanical Gardens, which are the second-largest in the world after Kew in England, house an amazing collection of flowers and trees as well as a world-famous orchid house. It is also possible to see the outside of Lord Mountbatten’s colonial house within the gardens.
Experience the most magical train journey through the hill country, tea plantations and mountains to reach the highlands where we recommend you spend a few days walking, exploring and relaxing in this magnificent location.
