Everything you Need to Know about Kandy - Sri Lanka

Want to escape from the heat in the plains? Head over to the hill city of Kandy or to what is locally known as Maha Nuvara. It is the second-largest city of Sri Lanka and an important Buddhist pilgrimage destination, especially for Buddhists who belong to the Theravada school.

The Kanday Perahera is the busiest time for religious visitors. There is also the charm of being surrounded by tropical plantations in the hills and the most important cash crop is Ceylon Tea, samples of which can easily be purchased in the city.
