What you'll do

This inspiring guided walk through begins by the tranquil lake where you'll hear stories of this ancient kingdom. Journey to the iconic UNESCO-awarded Temple of the Tooth, which houses one of the last remaining relics of Buddha. Gaze with fascination at the city square where a church sits side-by-side with a Kovil (Hindu temple) and the great Red Mosque. Quench your thirst at the lovely Empire Cafe before rounding things off at Kandy Market, which is full of weird and wonderful vegetables, fruits and spices - a true adventure for the senses!
