Next drive through the hills to Kandy to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Temple of the Tooth and to stay for two nights by the broad Mahaweli River with a morning enjoying a round of golf at the Victoria Golf & Country Resort.

Available Attractions
Colombo

Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, sprawls along the west coast some 30 minutes by the new Expressway from the International Airport. Its suburbs are chaotic, clogged with traffic and packed with office and residential buildings but the centre of the city has been renewed with bright new high rise hotels and office blocks, restored and re-painted Edwardian mansions and broad tree lined boulevards.

Colombo seems set to recapture its reputation as the Garden City of Asia because of its parks and playing fields, inspired architecture and spaciousness, air-conditioned shopping malls, high-end restaurants and hotels to suit all budgets. There is no metro system of trains and buses are usually packed with commuters so a good way to explore the city is by one of the ubiquitous, buzzing three wheeler taxis known as ‘tuk tuks.’

Royal Colombo Golf Club
Established in 1879, The Royal Colombo Golf Club is one of the finest golf clubs in Sri Lanka. The club is located in the heart of the city, and being one of only two golf courses in the city provides members and guests a great relaxation from their busy work schedules. The RCGC as it is popularly known is playing a prominent role in the development of the game of golf in the country. Brilliantly landscaped, the 18-hole golf course is immaculately maintained.

Nuwara Eliya

At an altitude of over 1,800m above sea level the picturesque landscape of Nuwara Eliya is known as “Little England” because of the resemblance of its homesteads to English bungalows, and it’s cool climate (there are even log fires in some hotels).

Nuwara Eliya is overlooked by Piduruthalagala, the highest mountain in Sri Lanka. In colonial days it was the retreat from the coastal heat for British residents and even today rituals like horse racing, boating on the lake, beautiful flower garden competitions and golf tournaments are held during the local holiday season months of April and August.

Most of Sri Lanka’s fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables are grown in the area and there are also dairy and strawberry farms. The Hakgala Botanical Gardens near the town is a prime attraction, as is a trek across Horton Plains.

Walking distance from the town center spread over 90 acres, over a hundred years old (built in 1891), the 18 holes golf course is one of Nuwara Eliya’s biggest attractions. It is reputed to be the only Golf Course where all the holes are visible from the Club House or accessible by car.

Kandy

The ancient kingdom of Kandy is home to the Temple of the Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha as well as Edwardian buildings, a king-made lake, a nature reserve and exciting shops.

As the second largest city of the island and the capital of the Central Province, Kandy has grown from being a medieval kingdom to a friendly, busy city set in forested hills and surrounded by tea plantations and close to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya. As well as the Temple of the Tooth, there are many Buddhist monasteries and Hindu places of worship to visit, and cultural dance performances to watch.

Kandy is a convenient base to stay for a few days while exploring the Cultural Triangle as there are comfortable hotels to suit every budget. The city is easily accessible from Colombo by rail, road and float plane.

Royal Botanical Gardens

Known for its collections of exotic orchids and acres of sprawling lawns and trees, the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens is close to Kandy. It was created in a royal park by the British in the 19th century with plants gathered from around the island, together with tea seedlings from India. Today this is an attraction for tourists as well as for young people enjoying each other’s company in the beautiful parkland scenery.

The gardens feature a classical Avenue of Palms, extend over 147 hectares and are home to 4,000 species of plants including orchids, spices, herbal and medicinal plants and a range of palm trees. With a cool climate and elevation (500m above sea level) the gardens are surrounded on three sides by a loop formed by the River Mahaweli.

Temple of the Tooth Relic

The golden canopy of the medieval Temple of the Tooth is a landmark dominating the ancient kingdom, now modern city, of Kandy

The Sacred Relic of Buddha’s tooth was brought from India in the 4th century before being housed in a specially created temple in Kandy in the 16th century. The moat and octagonal structure were added later. The tooth relic is enclosed in seven golden caskets enriched with gemstones, in the shape of a Stupa, within the depths of the temple. The temple is open to visitors.

An annual procession (Perahera) of a replica of the tooth casket takes place in August. Elephants are colourfully caparisoned and garlanded with flowers and lights while crowds thrill to the sight of fire eaters, stilt dancers, whip crackers and jugglers parading to the rhythmic vibrations of Kandyan drums.

Negombo

Within 20 minutes by car from the airport, on the west coast of Sri Lanka some 35km north of Colombo, the former fishing village of Negombo is now a hot spot for tourists. Negombo has a vibrant after-beach night life with a slew of bars and restaurants. The beach itself is shared with fishermen and one of the most photographed scenes is of the fishing boats red sails in the sunset.

There is plenty of beach action too, such as kite surfing, whale watching and boat rides. There several dive stations and Negombo is a popular destination for windsurfing competitions. Negombo has many resorts and holiday inns that are up to the mark for those who wish to stay for some time. These places will give you easy access to enjoy all the activities and some even have packages to offer.
