About Kandy
The picturesque city of Kandy is situated straight in the very middle of Sri Lanka in only about 115 kilometers away from Colombo, straight on the bank of the large river, which makes the climate in Kandy quite pleasant and fresh. The city of Kandy is considered the cultural capital of the country and is even included nowadays in UNESCO World Heritage List. Straight in the middle of the city is situated the large handcrafted lake, which is the creation of the last king of Kandy. In the middle of the lake there is a tiny island with the gorgeous Summer Palace, built on it, which is nowadays hundreds and hundreds years old already.
Trekking is considered one of the most popular local tourist enetertainments and, at the same time, the best way to explore the distinctive and real nature of Kandy. There is an incredibly large number of unique routes, situated in the city surroundings, for example, to Asgiri Maha Viharaya Temple or Bahirawakande Hill. Besides that, Udawattakelle National Park, Lankathilake Hill, Alagalle Mountain, numerous tea plantations and tiny local villages are considered the main reasons that attract thousands and thousands of foreigners to this region.
