What's nearby

  • Two reasons to come to Kandy: 1, to walk around this lake, and 2, to visit the temple with the sacred tooth relic
    Kandy Lake
    4 min drive - 3.3 km
  • Sri Dalada Maligawa, also known as Temple of the Buddha Tooth in English, is a UNESCO heritage site, and a popular place to visit for newly weds. It was awfully packed over the full moon weekend (would not recommend visiting during this period)! This pavilion-like structure at the front Paththirippuwa, or Octagon. It is a symbol of identity in Kandyan Architecture. In the olden days, the king would stand there to address his citizens who were gathered in front of him. The golden roof behind stands over the Buddha tooth relic that this temple is famous for. Footwear is not permitted inside, so you should either carry a bag where you can keep your shoes, or leave your shoes out on the grass like everyone else! #srilanka #kandy #wanderlust #explore #adventure #travel #igtravel #instatravel #vacation #travelgram #trip #travelandleisure #asia #throwback #tourist #temple #religion #beautiful #traveltips #nofilter #picoftheday #architecture #buddhist #sridaladamaligawa

Die Position des Hotels wird bei Expedia falsch abgezeigt! Die wahre Position finden sie auf google maps. Sehr netter Unterkunftgeber. Da die Angabe zur Position bei Expedia falsch ist, die Ortschaft liegt 12 km außerhalb von Kandy, hat mir der Herr ohne extra was zu berechnen ein Abendessen gemacht. Die Zimmer sind sauber und die Klimaanlage hat gut funktioniert. Es werden keine Handtücher zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut und reichlich. Ich habe den Pool nicht benutzt aber ich habe gesehen wie er täglich gereinigt wurde. Ich empfehle das Hotel eher für entspannte Tage abseits der Hektik einer Stadt. Als Ausgangspunkt für Besichtigungen in Kandy ist es ejer weniger zu empfehlen, man hat lange Anfahrtsweg mit dem Bus oder Tuk Tuk (Taxi). In der Nähe ist ein Wasserfall. Besonders wenn es geregnet hat ist er recht beeindruckend. Eine wanderung dort hin kann eine nette Abwechslung bieten.
