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.

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.
