Kandy was the last capital of the Sinhala Kings, and is the islands cultural centre. It was Sri Lanka’s capital until the British took control in 1815 and due to its significant association with Buddhism; UNESCO has now made the Sacred City of Kandy a UNESCO World Heritage site. Our half-day tour of Kandy includes the upper lake drive, which offers you a bird’s eye view of Kandy Lake and the hustle and bustle of the Kandy market place. You will also visit the Arts and Craft Centre, where you can see the local craftsmen at work.
