Kandy, a city nestled in Sri Lanka's hill country and the heartland of the island, is famed for its extraordinary beauty and historical significance. Also known as the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, Kandy is renowned for its verdant hills and tranquil Lake Kandy, bestowing the city with breathtakingly serene vistas. The city is also home to one of the most sacred Buddhist shrines in the world, the Temple of the Tooth, which enshrines Buddha's tooth relic. Each year, Kandy enthralls countless visitors with its colourful Esala Perahera festival, during which decorated elephants, traditional dancers, and drummers parade in the city as part of a significant religious ritual. Whether you are captivated by ethereal natural beauty, rich history, or vibrant cultural traditions, Kandy promises an unforgettable experience.

I stayed in Kandy for a couple of days. There are many accommodation options here: hostels, guest houses and hotels. The people are nice and willing to help. There are many cafes and restaurants there, so the food there is inexpensive. In xmass time the city was full of tourists.
