The city of Kandy is the former capital of Sri Lanka and the homonymous valley in the heart of the island. The valley is a true pearl, cut by picturesque mountains. And the city is a cultural and religious center of the country. The climate in Kandy is warm and humid, the weather does not change globally for a year, the difference in temperature in different seasons fluctuates within 2-3 degrees.
The population of the town is small - only one hundred thousand people. But he can boast of his own identity and a cosiness that makes you feel at home here. Narrow streets, untranslatable colors - you need to feel it yourself, if you want to get acquainted with the true spirit of Ceylon. (Ceylon is the former name of Sri Lanka).
