It is endowed with unmatched bio diversity and thousands of other attractions that will make your holidays a memorable experience. 

Ages old temples, ruins, traditional kingdoms, natural rain forests, coral reefs and massive rocks are just some of the spectacular attractions that tourists enjoy during holidays Sri Lanka.

Kandy, also called the cultural city of Sri Lanka is one fabulous place that you must pay a visit. Located about 100 KM from the capital Colombo, the town is a massive tour location attracting thousands of visitors each year for their holidays Sri Lanka. The city is sandwiched between hills and is probably the most fascinating city in the world. It is surrounded by a lake that is bordered by raised walls all around it. On one side, you will find the legendary Temple of the Tooth. This is the sacred temple where a tooth of Buddha is kept. 

Each year around July a tremendous ceremony is held in the city as worshippers bring gifts to the temple as they come to see the famous casket where the tooth is kept. Elephants are paraded in the streets as thousands of people accompany the entourage in song and dance. It’s a fascinating sight that is the dream of any visitor in Sri Lanka.

The city is a terrific fun spot where you can take pictures, take part in the dances and have a chance to meet the highly religious locals. While here a strict dress code must be observed as it is a sacred place. When taking pictures you will be informed that it is blasphemy to turn your back to the sacred statues. Also, to have the most fun, keep away your work gear. Things like stethoscopes for nurses and other medical equipment are also not allowed when visiting the religious leaders. As you end your holidays Sri Lanka, you will have known why most tourists return each year.
