Kandy & Udawattakele Rainforest Reserve

Things to see in Sri Lanka: Kandy & Udawattakele Rainforest Reserve

Useful Links

Kandy is a charming lakeside town, with rich historical, cultural and natural treasures. Formerly the capital of the Kandyan Kingdom, it's today a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists who come to visit the Temple of the Tooth. It is surrounded by hills, valleys, rivers, lakes, cascading waterfalls and forests, home to the endemic Sri Lanka hanging parrot and Layard's parakeet. Kandy is also famous for its elephants and the Udawattakele Rainforest Reserve, with resident deer, jackals, porcupines and civets. The forest is a haven for birdlife and with luck you may encounter one of the 'bird waves' which are a feature of tropical forests.
