A excellent place situated in Kandy Sri Lanka, which is famous for lord Buddha and it's said that the left tooth is enshrined inside this premises. There's a security check at the entrance and free of cost. The temple is designed in a beautiful way which gives a visual treat. Visitors should leave their shoes/slippers and go in barefoot. This place is well maintained by the administration. They conduct some sort of ritual ceremony by 6pm daily, it was excellent to watch. Dress code is important, one should cover the shoulder and knees before entering this temple. The climate is cool in Kandy so it is highly recommended to visit.

World heritage city has a lots to offer for any pilgrims or tourists both local and foreign. Culture , food, architecture are some od the highlights. Temple of the Tooth relic of Buddha being the summit of its heritage.

The City Centre is pretty small but cute. Everyone is extremely friendly. The optimal stay is 5 days. Kandy is not a city for party. This is the spiritual centre of Sri Lanka. So make sure you have a guid which can give you deep insights in the World Buddhist Museum and as well in the Temple of the Tooth. You can reach other sights which are 20km around easily with TukTuks.

Nice hill country town, and former capital city. Interesting history, and the holiest site for Buddhists, the Temple of the Tooth.

The sacred city of Kandy is the palace and museum along with the temple of the tooth relic. There is a man made lake along with the palace which helps for the water needs for the town. There are a lot of security checks but the place is worth a visit

Visited multiple time here, one of favourite place in Kandy. If you planning the visit to see Dalada perehera, come here little early around 4:30pm, you can see how the elephants are prepared for the perehera. And can take some super cool photos with them.

Well maintained and organised place. But as expected there is entrance fee for foreigners which I think is not necessary. You can get the feel of history of Sri Lanka . Don’t forget to hire a guide else you won’t understand a thing the caves.

Kandy Temple - One of the beautiful Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. Can experience the rich culture and holiness of the Sri Lankan people.

Beautiful temple of Buddha Teeth Relics at Kandy, Sri Lanka. Place to offer flowers & praying. Very peaceful & calm feeling inside the temple. A must visit place in Sri Lanka.

Small and a beautiful city. Foreigner are typically visiting this place. Many things to explore in Kandy.

Located in the central province of Sir Lanka. Nearly 120km away from Colombo and is nestled amidst lush greenery and scenic landscapes. Kandy holds great historical, religious, and spiritual importance and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

If you are in Srilanka.. you must visit Kandy. Spend some time near Kandy lake at evening will make your day. You can also have option for boating there. City center is just near the lake , so it will be a great place to roam around.

Beautiful complex of temples, gardens etc on the banks of the River in the heart of the city. Best with a guide to explain the old history, the newer history & the story of the tooth relic. Need to store your shoes & wear conservative attire. Security including scanners present.

It is the most sacred place for buddhist in Sri lanka, temple of the tooth relic. From ancient times our great kings put their full efforts to protect tooth relic.

Medium size city with one of the best temples and regular Pooja I've attended . It's so friendly and cozy over here with the occasional rain. I've spend only one day and night over here and the experience was very nice

The best time to visit is early morning at about 6 am, where you can see the temple of the tooth. This is the most sacred place for Sri Lankan's and has a strict dress code where all need to wear covers attire and no flashy colours. Would need to remove caps, hoods, and slippers/shoes when you enter.

Come and visit kandy, It is last kingdom of Sri Lanka. Lots of traditional things happening here every year (like Perahara)

One of the most popular place to be. Cool weather and best visited in the morning. For all temples, kindly wear appropriately, best with all whites, long pants or sarongs. Entrance fee is 2000 Rupees.

I always treasure being at Kandy and visiting the Temple of Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha. Road access to the city is bit different and you’re gonna get stuck in traffic at office hours during weekdays for sure. There are many places to visit apart from the temple, the Peradeniya Botanical Garden, KCC shopping mall, Railway station, Ambakke Dewalaya, Bogambara are some of beautiful places you can go. Due to COVID-19 health and safety measures you have to wear a mask wherever you go, shop owners and the local authorities have provided hand washing facilities across the city. Some intercity trains are not in operation as they were used to be same as busses from Colombo. So if you’re planning to visit in public transport you better check the schedule through online platforms. I’ve added pics of Kandy before so the pics I’ve added are from KCC & the Magul Maduwa where the historical agreement of 1815 was signed between then King and the English administers.

Kandy is the hill capital of Sri Lanka. It's set on a plateau surrounded by mountains, which are home to tea plantations and biodiverse rainforest. The city's heart is scenic Kandy Lake (Bogambara Lake), which is popular for strolling. Kandy is famed for sacred Buddhist sites, including the Temple of the Tooth (Sri Dalada Maligawa) shrine, celebrated with the grand Esala Perahera annual procession.

Very sacred place in sri lanka... Temple of tooth relic...

😍😍

Very neat and clean city. It was a full moon day so the atmosphere was festiv. There is only limited space for parking.

if you're traveling around Kandy city, must-visit place. It's a sacred Buddhist temple and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The temple houses a tooth relic of Lord Buddha, and it's a significant religious and cultural landmark in Sri Lanka.

The temple is definitely a must see when you are in the area. Beautiful on the outside and inside. If you come around the ceremony time, when the relic is shown, it is, however, the temple is darn crowded, you can barely move and have to wait for quite some time to get around the temple. Was still worth seeing it.

Lucky to be there!!!!!

Kandy is one of the busiest and most attractive city in Sri Lanka. Great tourist destination for both local and foreign visitors. But the city is very inactive during the night after like 7pm. If you wish travel after those time better have arranged your own transportation. Kandy is a place where everyone must visit.

Wow amazing

This sacred places is named as world heritage in 1988. This holi place is worshipped by locals and foreigners .Lord buddhas left canine tooth is kept safely here.🙏🙏🙏 This was baught to Sri Lanka during the region of king kirthisri meghawanna (301_328) by princess Hemamala and prince dantha from the kingdom of malinga .

Don't waste your money for flower sellers. They sell five a six flowers for 500rps.

This is historical place . Very clean and nice.

Best place I have ever visited.

Kandy is a beautiful and peaceful city. Located in the hilly region of central Sri Lanka, it is a temple town. The biggest attraction here is a Buddha temple where they have preserved a tooth of Goutam Buddha. The temple itself is by the side of a huge lake. The premises also contain various Muslims. It is a peaceful and clean place.

Very good for get a professional knowledge about binary trading

Respecting the tradition, this is not a must do. This tourist attraction is not recommend. Mass processing & nothing to see. Not worth the experience. Plenty more calm and more valuable Temple experiences all over.

Stay calm and worship Lord Buddha..

Beautiful city... we visited Khataragama temple. Tooth relic temple and also had a walk along lakeside. Beautiful..

KANDY IS MIRACULOUS AND YOU MUST VISIT! We took a day trip from Colombo to Kandy and came back to Colombo at night. The city has a lot to offer. We kicked off the day at Pinnawala elephant orphanage which is the largest in the world. We then visited botanical garden and tea factory. Then we went to the famous Temple of Tooth Relic. That was such an awesome place. In the evening we went to the top and had a beautiful view point of the Kandy city. Lastly, we watched the arts and cultural show to finish the day. Amazing activities, lovely time. Absolutely and highly recommended!

Holy place

(Translated by Google) A soothing place ... (Original) සිත නිවෙන තැනක්...

As usual you pay a high premium for being a tourist. We got our tickets for free from a dutch couple who was refused entry because they couldn't take their INFANT in a baby carrier. Anyways it's very holy etc.

Traditional & the crown jewel of SriLanka

People who visit kandy as a tourist must visit this place. We spent a good time around this place. You should remove your footwear before going inside, also you have to buy a ticket... For locals it's different & for tourists the price was different. Make sure you got the exact ticket. Also don't turn your back to any of the statue

Must go there to discover this amazing city ! If you have enough time you must planned your travel by train (6 hours from Colombo fort) ; take time to discover this very religious city
