Things to do in Sri Lanka - Kandy | Sri Lanka Travel Guide
During our Sri Lanka Holidays 2017, our second stop was Kandy Sri Lanka, which is the second largest city in the country after Colombo. It is a 2-3 hour drive to here from Sigiriya, and the top attractions include the Big Buddha, The Botanial Garden, the Temple of Tooth Relic and the Kandy Lake
We had only half a day here hence skipped the Botanical garden. Just Went to Temple of Tooth and spent the rest of the day roaming around the city center, the Kandy Lake and had some nice Food. Hotel See Kandy is where we were staying which has the best view ever of the Kandy Lake and is on the hilltop!
I have a travel blog and a 10 Days in Sri Lanka Itinerary as well on – froogalfun.com. Refer to it for lots of travel stories and itinerary. And watch this space for detailed travel vlog from each of the locations we visited while in Sri Lanka. This is a Best of Sri Lanka Post which I wanted to initiate the Sri Lanka travel vlog series with.

When you travel to Sri Lanka, you will inevitably pass through the cultural hub of Kandy at some point. It's where you get the famous train from. It's an incredibly cool city with a lot to offer. In this Kandy Travel Guide we show you how to make the most of the day or two that you spend here.
We start off by visiting Kandy Lake at the centre of the city where you can hire a boat to get a better perspective of the city. After that, we visited the holy Buddhist Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, which houses one of Buddha's teeth. We then spent the afternoon exploring the incredible botanical gardens. This was our absolute favourite thing to do in Kandy and recommend spending an afternoon exploring the grounds.

kandy tourist information And Travel
Kandy is Sri Lanka's second largest city located in the mountainous center of the island. It is considered by some as the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, and was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1988. A cooler climate and smaller size make it much more pleasant and accessible than Colombo.
The city has a compact downtown area surrounded by a beautiful tropical rain forest hill country on all sides with exotic animals such as monkeys running around in the wild. but it is also a major shopping destination where all kinds of goods imaginable can be purchased at surprisingly low prices. There are also numerous bakeries, offering delicious local treats all over downtown. Overall Kandy is a great place to experience Sri Lankan culture and cuisine surrounded by a beautiful natural environment.

KANDY ON A BUDGET · BEST FREE ATTRACTIONS · SRI LANKA 2018 | TRAVEL VLOG #58
Is there anything to see i Kandy, if you don't want to go to the Temple of Tooth or watch Kandyan Dancing at the Culture Center and part with thousands of rupees? The answer is yes!
We had a hard time finding any guide to Kandy, Sri Lanka that didn't just mention the Temple of the Tooth, Kandyan Dancing and the Botanical Gardens, so we decided to challenge ourselves to find another side of Kandy and explore Kandy on a budget.
And it worked. In fact, it worked so well that we had to cut a place (The Central Market) from the video that was way too long. So yes, you can definitely explore Kandy on a budget.
We hadn't heard a lot of great things about Kandy, but we were positively surprised. Our favourite Kandy spots were The British Garrison Cemetery (and our awesome guide!) and the Masala Dosas at Balaji Dosai in the center of Kandy. They were so freaking good! Definitely do yourselves a favour and try one (or three) if you ever stop by Kandy on your way to Ella or Nuwara Eliya.

Hi there! I'm Anne-Li – Danish girl, globetrotter, travel vlogger, blogger and digital nomad traveling the world with my partner in crime and long-term boyfriend Mathias. Spending a month in Budapest every summer taught us that traveling does not have to be expensive and that slow travel is the way to go – for us. We have been traveling full-time since September 2016, and we usually base ourselves in one place for at least a month or two. This way of traveling is not only budget friendly – it also means that we can take our time and really explore and enjoy the place we're in. We eat local food, shop at local markets, meet local people and enjoy experiencing different cultures – all the while seeking out the best wifi and exploring everything there is to explore. Everyday is another adventure, and we’d love for you to be part of it!
Let's go!

???? Kandy Food Market - Food Travel Blog - Sri Lanka Vlog Street Food - Meat Fish Vegetable Markets - Kandy market is set just by the bus station in the centre of the city. It is housed in a maze of market stalls around a central building with a green area and pond in the middle. This market does have a few units of clothing and tourist type things but is mainly based on the local market buying their fresh meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and spices. Worth a look if you are into seeing local produce but for sure there are better places around if you just want clothing and tourist bits. For us as foodies we love it. There are and you will here on the video crows or ravens all over the place in Kandy and they like to swoop down and grab food from the market sellers. A busy local market full of great characters and super vibes. Pol sambola (coconut sambol) is a traditional Sri Lankan dish made from coconut, mostly used as an accompaniment with rice, string hoppers, hoppers, and many more meals. Sri Lankan cuisine has been shaped by many historical, cultural, and other factors. Foreign traders who brought new food items; influences from Indonesian cuisine and the cuisine of Southern India have all helped to shape Sri Lankan cuisine. Today, some of the staples of Sri Lankan cuisine are rice, coconut, and spices. The latter are used due to Sri Lanka's history as a spice producer and trading post over several centuries. Kottu is a spicy stir-fry of shredded roti bread with vegetables. Optional ingredients include eggs, meat, or cheese. It was invented in Batticaloa and literally means 'chopped roti' in Tamil. Hoppers (appam) are based on a fermented batter, usually made of rice flour and coconut milk with spices. The dish is pan-fried or steamed. The fermenting agent is palm toddy or yeast. Hopper variants can be either savory (such as egg hoppers, milk hoppers, and string hoppers), or sweet (such as vandu appa and pani appa). Kool is a seafood broth from Jaffna containing crab, fish, cuttlefish, prawns, and crayfish. It also contains long beans, jak seeds, manioc, spinach, and tamarind. The dish is thickened with palmyra root flour. Short eats are a variety of snacks that are bought by the dozen from short eat shops and restaurants. These are eaten on the go, mainly for breakfast or during the evening. Short eats include pastries, Chinese rolls and patties. A popular short eat among Tamils is the mutton roll, made from tender pieces of mutton with potato and seasoned with spices. This can be a very spicy dish. Mutton rolls are served all over the world wherever there are Sri Lankan Tamils.

Experiencing the Hills of Kandy in Sri Lanka
While in Sri Lanka, we make our way by road from Colombo to Kandy. A picturesque route surrounded by mountains leads us to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, which is a sacred place of worship and a UNESCO world heritage site since 1988. In the outskirts of Kandy we also visit a spice garden and a tea plantation making for a varied journey. We return to the city and are enthralled by the power-packed traditional fire dance of Kandy known as Gini Sisila.

City Description:
Kandy is a large city in central Sri Lanka. It's set on a plateau surrounded by mountains, which are home to tea plantations and biodiverse rainforest. The city's heart is scenic Kandy Lake (Bogambara Lake), which is popular for strolling. Kandy is famed for sacred Buddhist sites, including the Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) shrine, celebrated with the grand Esala Perahera annual procession.In the nearby Peradeniya suburb, the Royal Botanic Gardens is known for its orchid collection and massive palm trees. The Ceylon Tea Museum, in a former tea factory, has a library and exhibits that explore Sri Lanka's history as a major exporter of the beverage. Kandy is also a gateway to the Knuckles Mountains, a popular destination for hiking and camping.
Weather and Events:
Kandy is warm year-round, with an Apr/May–Sep monsoon season and frequent thunderstorms Oct–Nov. Many people choose to visit Dec–Mar, when rain is less prevalent. Apr–May are also popular, due to events like Avurudu (Buddhist New Year, Apr), and Vesak (May), when locals celebrate the birth of Buddha with religious rites and artistic performances. Esala Perahera (Aug), a 10-day festival honoring the tooth relic at Sri Dalada Maligawa shrine, is known for its elaborate street shows and elephant parades.
