Kandy City Tour Highlights
The temple has become a popular religious and tourist destination because of its calm atmosphere, modern architecture, and breathtaking panoramic views of the central highlands of Sri Lanka. The temple was developed as an international Buddhist center to promote Buddhist teachings, meditation, and religious harmony. Over the years, it has expanded into a large religious complex with beautifully designed buildings, prayer halls, meditation areas, and impressive statues. One of the most remarkable experiences at Nelligala is the panoramic scenery visible from the mountain.
The dance show is a vibrant, colorful stage performance that showcases traditional Kandyan dancing, drumming, and cultural rituals of Sri Lanka. There are three main traditional dance styles in Sri Lanka: Kandyan dancing from the hill country, known for energetic movements and drumming; Low Country dancing from the southern coastal areas, famous for mask and ritual dances and Sabaragamuwa dancing from the Sabaragamuwa Province region. The fire walking segment at the end of the show is especially thrilling and leaves a strong impression on audiences.
The Bahirawakanda Buddha Statue is one of the tallest Buddha statues in Sri Lanka, standing high above Kandy city and visible from many parts of the city. The massive seated Buddha statue at Sri Maha Bodhi Temple on Bahirawakanda Hill was constructed in the late 20th century as a religious and cultural project to promote Buddhism. The 88 foot high Buddha Statue is shown in a seated meditation posture, symbolizing peace and compassion. You can also climb up to the shoulder levelof the statue, where an amazing viewpoint offers breathtaking panoramic views of Kandy city.
The viewpoint offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Kandy and is a favorite spot for travelers, where you can see the beautiful Kandy lake, the historic temple of the sacred tooth relic area, busy city streets, and the huge Bahirawakanda Buddha Statue. The area became popular during the British colonial period when hill roads and residential neighborhoods were developed around Kandy. Because of its naturally elevated location, the site gradually turned into a popular public viewpoint where people could stop and admire the beautiful scenery of Sri Lanka’s hill capital.
The temple of the tooth is one of the most sacred Buddhist sites in Sri Lanka, housing the tooth relic of Gautama Buddha. The history of the temple dates back to the 4th century AD, when the relic was brought to Sri Lanka from India and became a symbol of authority, as it was believed that whoever possessed the relic had the right to rule. Today, it remains an active place of worship, where daily rituals are performed, and it is also the focal point of the Esala Perahera, a procession that honors the sacred tooth relic with traditional dancers, drummers, decorated elephants, whip crackers.
Visiting a tea factory, the visitors can learn the full tea manufacturing process, starting from freshly plucked green leaves brought from nearby plantations to the final graded product ready for export. The process typically includes withering, rolling, oxidation, drying, and sorting, each stage carefully controlled to develop the tea’s flavor and aroma. This guided tour led by knowledgeable staff, followed by a tea tasting session where guests can sample freshly brewed Ceylon tea and also possible tyo buy fresh factory made Ceylon tea.
