Workation in Kandy: the essentials
The last Sinhalese kings ruled from Kandy until 1818, and the city is still regarded as the cultural capital of Sri Lanka. The Temple of the Tooth Relic beside the lake is one of the most important sites in the Buddhist world, and the sacred city has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988. Each July or August the Esala Perahera procession fills the streets and rooms get scarce. Set among hills, it is cooler than Colombo, and the botanical gardens and university at Peradeniya are just outside. The centre sits in a bowl where traffic jams are routine. Bandaranaike International Airport is about 110 km away, and trains run to Colombo and up toward Ella.
