No visit to Sri Lanka is complete without a visit to its former capital city, which is Kandy! Nestled at the start of the central highlands, this charming city is teeming with historical and cultural attractions, the most famous of which is the Sacred Temple of the Tooth. When visiting make sure you don't miss out on Kandy Lake, The Big Buddha, Kandyan Dancing and of course a tour of a tea plantation! I hope my first impressions of the city will be helpful to you when planning your trip, down below is the tour that I did with Dinesh and also the lovely guesthouse I stayed at:

10:00 you are correct Buddha gained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree, in Anuradhapura there is a branch of the original bodhi tree that Buddha gained enlightenment known as Sri maha bodhiya, which is planted in 288 BC (over 2300 years old). It is considered as the oldest tree planted by humans.

I just returned from my 1st Sri Lanka trip and I was so amazed with it's culture and nature! Kandy is a great heritage city which I liked very much. If you have time try visiting Nuwara Eliya and stay there for a day or 2 to just enjoy a peaceful life with a nice weather. Nuwara Eliya is slightly expensive place compared to Kandy but it is worth visiting.

They follow the Lunar calendar full moon is a holiday(poya day) sorry no booze. Don't be afraid to talk to the locals. Maybe you should go to a saree shop and ask them to show you how drape a saree just say you would like to try it on you do not have to buy. A Tambili aka king coconut is always refreshing happy and safe travels

I'm from Kandy and glad to see you here. However, I think following tips would be helpful for future travelers (If you have already left 🙂) 1) Afternoon is the best time to visit Kandy or any other place is Sri Lanka (except places with cooler climates such as Nuwara Eliya.). Both the weather and the vibe would be much nicer in the afternoon. 2) In my opinion, the best thing to do in Kandy is to stroll around the Kandy Lake in the afternoon, which is really breathtaking. After the stroll, you can stop by a coffee shop and explore the rest of the central Kandy by foot, including the Temple of the Tooth. 3) I enjoy admiring the Temple of the Tooth from outside. There is lot to see in the premises as well. And then go inside, but avoid the main worshiping area (you showed here), which is usually extremely crowded by both worshipers and tourists. But do visit the 2 museums insides the temple it self. They are in the 2nd and 3rd floor. One of them is under renovation these days. 4) Don't forget to visit the Kandy view point 5) Even though they are overprized, I'd still recommend nicer cafes, if you want to send some time. Even locals go to those places if they want to have a long chat with a friend or someone.

To begin, thanx a Tom for visiting my beautiful country and I am glad that you are having a really good time visiting the places and meeting interesting people despite being encountered with some creeps, freaks and jerks here and there.. I mean they appear everywhere in every country and they do always appear like a bad penny, especially in the towns with mass populations where they stalk you the moment they come to know that you are a tourist .. 😮😢 So, better be safe, watch out peculiar behaviour of any person's, and be aware of your surroundings wherever you gonna be.. 🙏 Next, I wanna wish you a belated birthday and hope that you had a lovely time celebrating the grand day in Srilanka.. ❤ Wow..Guess, that was some experience, right, celebrating once a year birthday in srilanka and I hope that you will celebrate more in here as well as in some other countries as you globe - trot the world and take loads of good memories and awesome vibes to cherish for a life time.. Finally, May angels fly with you wherever you roam and guide in my country and take you back safely to family and home.” 🙏 Hugs.xoxoxo Gams ❤️ P. S. BTW, I am one of your avid followers now.. 😃🤩 Oops one more thing that I forgot, the little fluffy thing that you were holding in the first video, did look to me like a Srilankan candy, but soon it was dawned on me that it was your 🎤 microphone 🤩🤩

Dear Alina, I am a Sri Lankan American living in CA . I moved to US in 1991 and accidentally saw this video. You have done a good job reporting good and bad. I went to HS in Kandy and my brother who is a General Surgeon and his family are still living in Kandy. Kandy is a beautiful ancient city but due to no space, I heard it looks congested and no way of expanding. However, there was an old prison and some administration building were move to the suburbs. Hope you had time to travel to North an d south to see the beautiful beaches and also upcountry to see water falls and more beautiful areas in SL. Cheers!

A detailed description of the preparation of the tea was also interesting. Since I have viewed videos on India & Sri Lanka I have grown curious of the construction of the Tut - tuts. What is the comfort of riding in a Tut-tut on a scale of 1 to 10? ( the three wheeled vehicles with the canvas top)

Welcome to my hometown Kandy Alina! I am a fellow Canadian (23 years in Toronto), but brought up in Kandy and permanently moving back to Kandy within a month or two. When I visit Sri Lanka, I always make sure to have yummy devilled chicken and watalappam (desert like caramel pudding) or faluda at Devon restaurant just like 5 minutes walking from the Kandy lake. Address is 11 Sri Dalada Veediya, Kandy. Please also try other yummy and unique food like koththu roti, pol (coconut) sambal, hoppers, egg hoppers, string hoppers, pittu, lamprais and so much more. Enjoy!

That is a higher end coffee shop, its not tourist price. Its the standard rate for such coffee across the country. You have very clean and air-conditioned atmosphere. Price includes all those things. If you go to a regular shop and ask for a regular black coffee, it will be around LKR 100

Bodhi means enlightenment. We call it thus because Buddha gained enlightenment meditating under its shade. The ‘bodhi’ tree is appreciated and paid gratitude to, as a symbol of enlightenment and providing shade at a profound moment, respectively.

I can recognize the orange color coconuts. They are indeed rare and more expansive than the green ones.

Sri lanka is a tea country. Most of locals drink tea. That's why you can't find any local coffee shops
