About Kandy

Why Visit Kandy

Kandy is Sri Lanka's cultural capital, nestled in the central highlands at an elevation of 488 metres. Home to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic — one of Buddhism's most important shrines — Kandy is the spiritual heart of the island. The city sits beside a picturesque artificial lake and is surrounded by lush hills. The drive from Colombo Airport typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours via the A1 highway and offers increasingly beautiful scenery as you gain altitude.

Driver Tip: The most popular en-route stop on the Colombo Airport to Kandy route is Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage — just 1.5 hours from the airport. Ask your driver to include it for a magical first experience of Sri Lanka.
