Kandy
Some days, Kandy skies seem perpetually bruised, with stubborn mist clinging to the hills surrounding the city’s beautiful centrepiece lake. Delicate hill-country breezes impel the mist to gently part, revealing colourful houses amid Kandy’s improbable forested halo. In the centre of town, three-wheelers careen around slippery corners, raising a soft spray that threatens the silk saris worn by local women. Here’s a city that looks good even when it’s raining.
Hiking
It is one of those truly unique moments that will live on in your memory long after the aches and pains from the hiking have gone!The attractive area of Bandarawela, in Sri Lanka’s mountainous terrain and the nearby town of Ella are renowned for their many walks, including Little Adam’s Peak, Ella Rock and the Namunukula Mountain Range.
If you’re in the Kandy vicinity, don’t miss out on exploring the beautiful Knuckles Mountain Range. A hiking tour in Sri Lanka wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the fascinating Sinharaja Rain Forest where a variety of trails can be tailor-made to meet the specific interests/fitness levels of the group.
