Kandy, inbäddat i de frodiga kullarna i centrala Sri Lanka, är en pulserande stad känd för sitt rika kulturarv och sin naturskönhet. I hjärtat ligger det heliga Tandrelikens tempel, en vördad pilgrimsfärdsplats för buddhister. Stadens koloniala arkitektur, livliga marknader och lugna Kandysjön bidrar till dess charm. Besökare kan utforska den kungliga botaniska trädgården i närliggande Peradeniya, hem för en mångsidig flora. Kandys årliga Esala Perahera-festival, med traditionella danser och dekorerade elefanter, erbjuder en spektakulär uppvisning av srilankansk kultur, vilket gör Kandy till ett måste att besöka.
