An Insider’s Guide to Kandy, the Culture Capital of Sri Lanka

December 27, 2022 by Eliza

If you wish to explore Kandy, Sri Lanka, you’re in for a treat. The city is known for its beautiful ancient temples, stunning natural surroundings, and rich cultural history. To help you make the most of your visit, here’s an essential guide to Kandy.

When to Visit

The ideal time to visit Kandy is from December to April, during the dry season. This is when the weather is pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 22°C to 32°C. Avoid visiting during the monsoon season, which runs from May to October, as the heavy rain can make it difficult to enjoy outdoor activities.

How to Get There

Kandy is located in central Sri Lanka, about 115 kilometers from Colombo. The easiest way to get there is by bus or train. Buses run regularly from Colombo’s main bus station, which takes about 3-4 hours. Whilst trains are slower, they offer a more scenic route. You can also hire a private car or take a taxi from Colombo.

Where to Stay

Kandy has a range of accommodation options to suit all budgets. If you’re looking for comfort, you can stay at one of the top Sri Lanka luxury resorts, such as the opulent Earl’s Regency, equipped with a host of modern amenities. For something more affordable, there are plenty of guesthouses and budget hotels to choose from. Alternatively, you can stay in a homestay or rent a villa for a more authentic experience.
Food and Drink

Sri Lankan food is known for its spicy flavors, and Kandy has plenty of great places to try local dishes. Some must-try dishes include hoppers (a type of pancake), curry, and roti. You can also find a range of international cuisines, including Chinese, Indian, and Italian. Remember to try some of the local drinks, such as king coconut water and Ceylon tea.
