Highlights

Heeloya is a protected historic Kandyan region and one of the last remaining traditional nativities in Sri Lanka. This tranquil village is distinctively situated on the foothill of the spectacular Knuckles range and surrounded by dense montane cloud forests. Heeloya village consists of characteristic, inherent, and sustainable livelihoods such as Paddy farming, Beekeeping, Toddy tapping, Spice growing, and Handicrafts, and the rustic lifestyle is yet unchanged. Visitors may embrace activities like roaming in backyards, visiting temples, trekking in the woods, bathing in waterfalls, and tasting local cuisines, and this enchanted Knuckles-based Heeloya rural pictorial expedition will stretch beyond the picturesque Galmal Oya crystal creek shore.

About Kandy

Kandy is the hill-country city of Sri Lanka, home to the Temple of the Tooth, a tree-fringed lake and a botanical garden among tea-covered hills.

Kandy was the last capital of the Sinhalese kings until the British took it in 1815. It stands around an artificial lake, about 500 metres above sea level, in the Central Highlands. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a UNESCO site, holds a relic said to be a tooth of the Buddha, and pilgrims bring lotus flowers each day. Drummers and dancers perform at the shrine's rituals.

Top-ranked sights in Kandy: Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa), Alagalla Mountain Range.
