It was the last stronghold of the Sinhalese Kings until it was finally ceded to the British by agreement in 1815 A.D. Kandy is the most sacred site with the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the ceremonial pageantry- the Kandy Perahera dating back to 1774, is held once a year in July or August. Kandy is the famous centre of Arts and Culture, famous for its dance forms and music. Peradeniya Gardens (147 acres) at the entrance to the city is one of the best gardens in Asia, with over 5000 species of trees and plants. Audience Hall, remains of the Royal Palace and other buildings, Natha, Vishnu, Pattini & Skanda Devala are some other places of interest.
  • Visit Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
  • Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic – When King Wimaladharmasuriya I (1592-1604 A.D.) became King in Kandy; he searched for the Tooth Relic and the bowl Relic of the Buddha and found that it was kept at the Delgomuwa Buddhist Temple at Kuruwita, for more than 44 years, hidden in a grinding stone. The King had gone there personally and brought the Sacred Tooth Relic to Kandy in a procession accompanied by the King. The first Temple of the Tooth Relic was constructed by Wimaladharmasooriya I to house it next to the Royal Palace. The Portuguese burned down the 2-floored building and King Wimaladharma sooriya II (1687-1707) erected a 3-storied building to house the Sacred Tooth Relic. It was burnt down once again and a new 2-storied building was constructed by King Narendra singhe (1707-1739 A.D.) and what we see today may be the building constructed by him. He also painted 32 Jataka Stories on the outer walls of the building.

  • Nuwara Eliya City tour
  • Nuwara Eliya – The ‘Little England’ of Sri Lanka, is set against beautiful backdrops of Mountains, Valleys, Waterfalls and Tea Plantations. It is supposed to be one of the coolest places in the Island, but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night. All around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions. The Victoria Park, in the middle of the town, is a lovely place for a stroll or a picnic and is also good for Birding as you get some rare birds in this Park. Seasons may be absent elsewhere in Sri Lanka, but here you can read them by the flowers, which bloom in the spring (march to May) and the fall (August and September). These are the “seasons” when low-country folk flock to Nuwara Eliya to escape the sea level heat and humidity.
  • Seetha Amman temple
  • Seetha Amman temple, The stream that runs from the hill, catered to the needs of Sitadevi during her stay at Ashok Vatika. She is said to have bathed in this stream.

Now there is temple for Lord Rama, Sitadevi, Luxshmana, and Hanuman by the side of this stream.
