Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

You will first visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) to start your Kandy city tour. This is a very important place for Buddhists because the left canine tooth of the Lord Buddha is enshrined here. The Temple of the Tooth Relic is also a UNESCO-designated world heritage site in Sri Lanka.

Kandy Lake

Climbing to the top of the steep staircase you can enjoy a magnificent view. Not suitable for those who are afraid of heights.
Janaka is the best tour guide in Sri Lanka!

Booked Janaka for a one day tour of Kandy. It was the best day of our trip so far. Everything was no problem and took the hassle of us organising the day ourselves! Janaka was super fun, telling us stories and intestering facts about Sri Lanka! He even was a great photograph too! Janaka was so good, we even booked him for a second day to take us to Nuwara Eliya where he stopped at places we would never have known about! He also gave us plenty of recommendations for the rest of our trip in Sri Lanka! He was the perfect driver 👌
The BEST tour with a phenomenal guide!

Where to begin?! Janaka is a an absolute legend!! We had two amazing days with him doing a tour of Kandy and then a trip to Nuwara Eliya. He took us to some of our favourite stops of our trip so far, knew when to take us so it wouldn't be as busy and had so much information to share with us along the way. He knows his city so well you couldn't pick a better guide. On top of being a great guide he was great fun, we laughed and joked the whole time and he helped us capture some phenomenal pictures to help us remember the fun that we had. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting - it's was worth so much more than the price we paid. Tremendous!!!
Great guide and trip

This spot was a dream come true for me all thanks to Janaka. We requested him to take us to this place after a full day tour of the outskirts of Kandy and he was very kind to make the time to take us early morning before our train to Colombo. This place is highly recommended if you are visiting Kandy or nearby. Janaka was extremely helpful and nice where he was very attentive to what we wanted, he even took a gazillion awesome photos for us on the way up to the top of the tower so that we could enjoy the experience and still get lovely photos. Definitely highly recommended for the place as well as Janaka, the amazing chauffeur and guide.
