It was the last capital of the ancient kings' era of Sri Lanka. The city is world-renowned for the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, which houses the relic of the tooth of the Buddha. Kandy's pleasant climate, rich history, traditional arts, and vibrant festivals like the Esala Perahera make it a must-visit destination for those seeking a deep dive into the island's heritage.
