About Kandy Private Car Charter

Local Legends & Stories

Kandy was the last capital of the Sinhalese kings and remains a sacred city in Buddhist tradition, home to the Temple of the Tooth Relic, which houses a relic of the Buddha. The city's annual Esala Perahera festival is said to have originated from ancient rituals to protect the relic and ensure good harvests.

Must Do Experiences

Visit the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) and admire its intricate architecture and spiritual significance. Stroll around the serene Kandy Lake, a historic landmark surrounded by lush greenery and royal palace views. Explore the vibrant Kandy Market for local spices, handicrafts, and traditional Sri Lankan street food.

Hidden Gems

Discover the peaceful Udawattekele Sanctuary, a rainforest reserve just minutes from the city center, ideal for birdwatching and quiet walks. Visit the Royal Botanic Gardens in Peradeniya for its stunning orchid garden and towering palm trees. Enjoy panoramic views of Kandy from the Jayawardenepura Temple viewpoint, a lesser-known spot perfect for sunset photos.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best time to visit Kandy is during the dry season from January to March, when temperatures are pleasant and rainfall is minimal. The annual Esala Perahera festival in July or August offers a vibrant cultural experience, though it is also a busy period for tourism.

Photography Guide

Use a wide-angle lens to photograph the expansive Kandy Lake and surrounding hills, especially at sunset. Respect temple photography rules, which often prohibit cameras inside sacred halls.

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Remove your shoes and socks before entering temples and Buddhist shrines as a sign of respect. Dress modestly with covered shoulders and knees, especially when visiting religious sites. Greet locals with a slight nod and the traditional 'Ayubowan' gesture to show cultural courtesy.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

Esala Perahera: A spectacular monthly festival featuring decorated elephants, traditional dancers, and fire performers, usually held in July or August. Kandy Arts Festival: A celebration of local music, dance, and visual arts held annually, showcasing Sri Lankan cultural heritage.
