Itinerary description
|
Tourist visit to Kandy, in the center of Sri Lanka. This city, sacred to Buddhism for its Temple of the Buddha's Tooth, is also a pole of attraction for tourism. For all these reasons, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also known by the name Senkadagalapura, as Kandy is its Anglo-Saxon name.
We begin our visit by approaching the Temple of the Buddha Tooth and then we go around Lake Bogambara, undoubtedly an enclave of great beauty and very pleasant to walk, observing the lively atmosphere of the locals.
