What To Expect

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

The golden-roofed Temple of the Sacred Tooth houses Sri Lanka’s most important Buddhist relic – a tooth of the Buddha. During puja(offerings or prayers), the heavily guarded room housing the tooth is open to devotees and tourists. However, you don’t actually see the tooth. It’s kept in a gold casket shaped like a dagoba (stupa), which contains a series of six dagoba caskets of diminishing size. As well as the revered main temple, the complex includes a series of smaller temples, shrines, and museums.

Kandy View Point

Climb the hill by Kandy Lake to reach Kandy viewpoint and receive a view of the city that cannot be beaten. As a popular tourist spot, the area brings in a large number of peddlers, though they often sell sub-par items. The area also has a reputation for high pickpocket activity, so keep an eye on your belongings. From the hill, you can enjoy great views over the lake and the city as a whole.

This is a full on day tour which started with collection at 6.00 and finished being dropped off 2000hrs only. It is a long day but if like us you have limited time in kandy then it is ideal. Our tour guide was funny, friendly, professional and gave us a lot of engaging explanation to make the experience come to life, especially around the temple tea plantation, Elephant orphanage and many more . He was always happy to answer questions and has a lot of knowledge around the places you visit. The time spend at pinnawala was the best part of the day by far, and it is an experience not to be missed. The stops at the craft workshop, tea Factory, herble Garden are useful to break up the journey and there is no pressure to buy anything from anyone. The Axio car is brilliant, really The driver is really good considering the traffic they had to contend with and whilst you spend about 4 hours on the car, it is comfortable and as pleasant as it can be.
