Overview

Discover the cultural heart of Kandy on a guided walking tour through its sacred temples, vibrant markets, and scenic viewpoints, capped off with a tuk tuk ride to the stunning Royal Botanical Gardens of Peradeniya.

Immerse yourself in the charm of Kandy with this engaging full-day walking tour led by a knowledgeable local guide. Begin your journey at the iconic Dalada Maligawa, the revered Temple of the Tooth Relic, before strolling through the bustling central market and visiting museums and artisan craft shops. Take in the panoramic views from Bahirawakanda temple and enjoy a leisurely walk around the picturesque Kandy Lake.

The adventure continues with a fun tuk tuk ride out to the renowned Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya, home to over 4,000 plant species including orchids, spice plants, and towering palms. We recommend selecting the morning departure to make the most of the day, with time for a traditional Sri Lankan lunch (available from around $5 per person, not included in the tour price) and a refreshing river bath.

Please note that this tour involves a fair amount of walking and is best suited for travelers with a moderate level of fitness.
