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.

Sri Maha Kataragama Devalaya - Kandy
Place of worship
😠 Should have checked the review before entering. A tourist trap and scam. The temple is interesting, and the entrance fee of 200 Rupee per person seems reasonable, but there will be a guide that follows you, and then brings you to a prayer room to be blessed by a monk. After the prayer, they handed y...
