Kandy Lake
Kandy Lake has been constructed in 1807 by the last Kandyan ruler. The feeling you get when walking around this lake while enjoying a mango pickle (what they call as ‘achcharu’) is simply amazing.

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic
Also known as ‘Sri DaladaMaigawa’, the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is one of the holiest places for Buddhists in Sri Lanka. It houses the sacred tooth relic of Lord Buddha.

Peradeniya Botanical Garden
Peradeniya Botanical Garden located on the banks of the Mahaweli River is a beautiful park that has thousands of plants and trees which are nicely maintained.
