Kandy is a relatively great sized city in Sri Lanka. It is surrounded by mountains and lakes. It is an excessively ornate city. The city is clean and everything is well regulated. Don’t forget your camera because there are a lot of things to capture here.
1. Kiri Muhuda
The Kiri Muhuda or the Kandy lake is in the core of the metropolis. It is a very short lake artificially built by kings who ruled Sri Lanka for protection purposes. Fishing in the lake is strictly banned. The time when I visited this sea of milk, it was even fall and the lake looked splendiferous. I would suggest you to take a walk along the lake to feel the aura.
2. Traditional masks in Sri Lanka
The traditional masks are the best souvenir you can get from this place. All the masks are made of wood. It is usually hung on the walls and it is also worn as masks by performers who perform traditional dances. There are several kinds of masks and each has a unique meaning. The locals believe that the masks keep the evil away.
3. the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage
The best of visiting Kandy is having to see the enormous creatures very closely and to be able to have a closer bonding. The Pinnawala orphanage maintains Asian elephants and breeds them. The elephants are taken care of when they are ill by veterinarians and also volunteers from other countries. You can pet the elephants and also give them a shower using the fiber of coconut. There also elephant rides available. If you love elephants never miss this place.
4. THE Rajanima Craft
This shop in Kandy attracts many tourists for its woodwork. All the products here are hand-carved. The shop also shows you how the work is being done. The paintings on these carved woods are made from natural items, there are no chemicals involved. The prices are quite high but the quality is righteous.
