Kandy photos

Known as the ‘Royal City’, Kandy is the laidback capital of Sri Lanka’s beautiful hill country. The second biggest city in Sri Lanka (next to Colombo), Kandy has much to offer. From the golden Temple of the Tooth to the heaving street side stalls. The smells of aromatic spices and the hectic clutter of city life are in stark contrast to the drowsy village existence out of town. Do not miss the largest botanical garden on the island, the Peradeniya botanical garden, with its giant trees.
