2 days in Kandy Itinerary

Nestled between mountains in inland Sri Lanka, Kandy proudly bears its World Heritage Site designation while remaining culturally independent and colorfully picturesque.

Kick off your visit on the 15th (Tue): admire the natural beauty at Royal Botanical Gardens, then take in the spiritual surroundings of Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, then stroll the grounds of Kandy Garrison Cemetery, and finally contemplate the waterfront views at Kandy Lake. Here are some ideas for day two: stroll the grounds of Commonwealth War Cemetery, then identify plant and animal life at Udawattekele Sanctuary, and then look for gifts at Jayamali Batiks Studio.
