Descrição
Discover the beauty of Kandy on a guided tour. Visit the Commonwealth War Cemetery, explore the Royal Botanical Gardens, and enjoy a tea factory tour.
Begin your journey with a moment of reflection at the Commonwealth War Cemetery. Immaculately maintained but often overlooked, this site tells the story of Kandy's role as a strategic hub during WWII. Walk the silent rows and learn about the history that connects Sri Lanka to the world.
Next, immerse yourself in nature at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya. Originally reserved for Kandyan royalty, these gardens are now home to over 4,000 species of plants. Wander through the towering avenue of Royal Palms and stand beneath the canopy of the giant Javan Fig tree.
Transition from nature to spirituality with a visit to the Bahirawakanda Vihara. Standing at the feet of this giant white Buddha, you will be rewarded with a panoramic view of the entire Kandy city bowl—the perfect photo opportunity.
Continue your cultural immersion at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the holiest Buddhist site in Sri Lanka. Witness the architecture and absorb the atmosphere of the daily rituals.
Finally, engage your senses with an educational visit to a local tea factory and an herb garden. Unlike standard shopping stops, you will focus on the science of Ceylon tea production and the traditional usage of indigenous herbs in Ayurveda, before returning to your hotel.
