Negombo to Kandy Religious and Cultural Tour
Get picked up from your hotel in Negombo and drive to Peradeniya to explore one of the most extensive botanical gardens in Sri Lanka.
Reach Peradeniya Botanical Garden, which dates back to 1371. It is enclosed on three sides by a large bend in the Mahaweli River.
Proceed to the city of Kandy to visit the Sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic. It is located in the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy and houses the relic of the tooth of the Buddha.
Catch a glimpse of Buddhist rituals, explore the museum that includes several ancient artifacts, and pay your tribute to the tooth relic at one of the Buddhist ceremonies held on the premises.
Admire the architectural splendour and the historical importance of the Dalada Maligawa.
Spend some time strolling around Kandy Lake, which is just next to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
Enjoy your lunch at a nearby local restaurant.
Proceed to visit the final destination of the day - Bahirawakanda Temple.
See the giant Buddha statue, which can be seen from almost any point in Kandy. The figure shows Lord Buddha seated in the Nirvana pose, the position associated with his first Enlightenment.
Transfer back to your hotel after spending a fantastic day in Kandy.
