KANDY

​A tour of Kandy city can easily be arranged by our jeep, tuk tuk or local bus. We encourage guests to take the bus as it is an experience of its own besides also being very cheap. In Kandy you are free to walk about in the town, visit the Maligawa - Temple of the Tooth (of The Buddha), go shopping, visit the Central Market, or have a cup of tea or coffee or even a cool beer in an old cafe overlooking the busy streets.
