Rutt

1. You will be starting your half-day tour from the entrance of the Temple of the Tooth Relic at 8:30 am. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was built in the 17th century and is now based in the old Royal Palace Complex of Kandy. However the Sacred Tooth Relic it houses has a history of many millennia. You will be visiting the temple before starting your tour proper. Some of the sights that will be quite eye-catching are the golden Buddha figurines, the beautiful murals in the passageways and the regal architecture. You will then go on a walk through the streets surrounding the Temple of the Tooth and will be viewing important monuments such as the National Museum, the Kandy Lake and many others. You will also visit a Hindu Temple.

2. Some of the other interesting things that you will get to see and do is watch a garland maker create flower garlands from scratch; go on a short three-wheeler ride around the city; walk through the market of Kandy looking at the stalls filled with fresh fruit, produce and other merchandise; and eat street food such as the ever-famous Sri Lankan 'Koththu'. The charges for your three-wheeler ride which gives you a 360-degree view of the city, and that for your street food experience which allows you to taste interesting Sri Lankan flavors that you have never tried before; is included in your tour package already. So you don't need to pay anything extra either. Your tour will conclude at 12:30 pm at the entrance of the Temple of the Tooth where you started.

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.
