Coming to Kandy during my trip to Sri Lanka, I found a lot of fresh air and a refreshing climate. At an altitude of 500m, its climate and bearable temperatures, in comparison with the rest of the island, attract a lot of visitors.
As a UNESCO world heritage site, Kandy has other advantages than its climate. As well as walking around the lake and visiting the markets, I advise you organise visits to the Kandy National Museum, Mangul Maduwa and above all the Temple of the Tooth. With the latter, security was increased after the attacks in 1998 and correct attire is obligatory.
To sum up, Kandy is a relaxing place to be. You will find a thousand reasons to come here, whether that be for its pleasant climate, its easy way of life or its cultural attractions.
