Kandy view point
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Mesmerizing view. Must visit during evening. No tickets.
A good place to stop at and see the amazing view of Kandy city. We stopped here on our way to the famous Sri Maha bodhi temple. The place wasn't too crowded and there are some local vendors around.

Peradeniya Bridge
Bridge
😐 Although Peradeniya bridge has tremendous view, the safety is not ensured. The fence is too low, and anyone can jump easily.

Sri Maha Kataragama Devalaya - Kandy
Place of worship
😠 Should have checked the review before entering. A tourist trap and scam.

After the prayer, they handed y...
