Vollständige Beschreibung

Bentota ist eine Strandstadt und Kandy liegt dreieinhalb Stunden landeinwaerts, was dies zu einem langen Tag macht, aber fuer jeden, dessen Sri-Lanka-Reise sonst ganz an der Kueste verlaeuft, ist es der eine Tag, der ihnen das andere Land zeigt.

Pinnawala ist der erste Stopp und verdient eine ehrliche Beschreibung. Es ist ein 1975 fuer verlassen oder verletzt aufgefundene Tiere gegruendetes Elefantenwaisenhaus, es beherbergt rund achtzig Elefanten, und es ist auch stark kommerzialisiert, mit Badesitzungen, die auf Reisegruppen abgestimmt sind, und Flaschenfuetterung, fuer die man bezahlen kann. Die Tiere sind echt und die Rettungsarbeit ist echt; die Praesentation ist fuer Besucher aufgebaut. Wenn diese Kombination Ihnen nicht zusagt, sagen Sie es bei der Buchung, und der Stopp kann ersetzt werden.

Kandy ist der Hoehepunkt des Tages. Der Zahntempel beherbergt eine Reliquie des Buddha und ist der Grund, warum Kandy eine UNESCO-Weltkulturerbestaette ist, und die Stadt darum herum, der See, den der letzte Koenig 1807 ausheben liess, der Markt, die Huegel, die sich von allen Seiten schliessen, ist ein voellig anderes Sri Lanka als die Kueste, von der Sie heraufgefahren sind.

Der Koenigliche Botanische Garten Peradeniya, knapp ausserhalb von Kandy, schliesst den Tag vor der langen Rueckfahrt ab.

Kandy war die letzte Hauptstadt der singhalesischen Koenige und hielt gegen Portugiesen und Niederlaender durch, bis die Briten sie 1815 einnahmen, und der Tempel der Heiligen Zahnreliquie am See ist der Grund, warum sie wichtig ist: Die Reliquie, von der man glaubt, es sei ein Zahn des Buddha, ist das heiligste Objekt der Insel, und ihre Verwahrung legitimierte einst das Koenigtum. Die Reliquienkammer oeffnet dreimal taeglich fuer Puja, etwa um 5:30, 9:30 und 18:30 Uhr, wenn das Trommeln beginnt und die Schlange am Reliquienschrein vorbeizieht. Die Kleidung bedeckt Schultern und Knie, Schuhe werden am Eingang ausgezogen, und die Esala Perahera im Juli oder August fuehrt den Schrein auf einem Elefanten zehn Naechte lang durch die Stadt.

Häufige Fragen

Hotel pickup in Bentota or Kalutara; confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover entrance fees at pinnawala, the temple of the tooth and the botanic gardens, meals and drinks, gratuities.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Religious sites expect shoulders and knees covered, and shoes come off before entering many of them. A light scarf is worth carrying. Where a site enforces this at the gate, arriving dressed correctly saves the whole group time.
Sign of Lanka (Pvt) Ltd. We book with them directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can confirm your place with the operator before taking it as final.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice outside India. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Roughly November to April. From May to September the southwest monsoon builds the surf and strengthens rip currents, and swimming becomes genuinely dangerous even on calm-looking days. Most of the beach has no lifeguard — an empty sea on a hot afternoon is information.
A 2-3 hour boat trip through a Ramsar-listed 900-hectare wetland with 64 islands and around 14 mangrove species — one of the last intact stands in Sri Lanka — including a working cinnamon island. It runs year-round, unaffected by the monsoon that closes the beaches. See our Madu River guide.
No. It is harmless to you and unpleasant for the fish, kept at high density in a hot open tank. The same goes for jetties with a caged monkey or python for photographs — declining is completely normal and a good operator does not stop there at all.
November to April, with January to March the reliable core. Boats leave at 6-6.30am, so staying in Mirissa or Weligama the night before is effectively required. Outside the season, Trincomalee on the east coast runs the mirror season. See the Mirissa guide.
About 100 km and 1.5-2 hours on the E01 expressway — the shortest transfer from the airport to a proper beach in Sri Lanka, which is why it works as a first or last stop. See our Bentota guide.
They vary a great deal. The better ones release hatchlings the same night they emerge; the worse ones keep them in tanks for visitor photographs, which sharply reduces survival odds. Ask what happens to the hatchlings before you pay.
No. It is a living town of about four hundred families, not a heritage site with a gate — you walk in. Go late afternoon: the ramparts face west, so that is both the light and the sea breeze, and the day-trippers leave around five. See our Galle Fort guide.
Roughly November to April. From May to September the southwest monsoon builds the sea and strengthens rip currents, and swimming becomes genuinely dangerous even on calm-looking days. The east coast is the reverse — dry and calm May to September. See our south coast beaches guide.
November to April, with January to March the reliable core. Boats leave Mirissa harbour at 6-6.30am and are back by eleven, so staying in Mirissa or Weligama the night before is effectively required. Outside the season, Trincomalee on the east coast takes over. See the Mirissa whale watching guide.
No — and an operator promising one is promising something they cannot control. Sighting rates in season are high; the honest operators offer a free repeat trip instead of a guarantee. Choose a smaller boat with a naturalist aboard that commits to the 100 m distance rule.
Rarely. The main resort stretches sometimes have them; most beaches do not. Red flags mean what they say, and an empty sea on a hot afternoon is information — locals know which days are dangerous. If caught in a rip, swim *parallel* to the beach, not against it.
Two nights. One full day for the countryside cycling and Galle Fort at sunset, and a second morning for the whale boat. Our Galle 2-day itinerary sets out the hours and why they matter.
They vary a great deal. The better ones release hatchlings the same night they emerge; the worse ones keep them in tanks for visitor photographs, which sharply reduces survival odds. Ask what happens to the hatchlings before you pay.
Time it for a puja — 5.30am, 9.30am or 6.30pm. Those are the only windows when the upper relic chamber opens and the hevisi drummers play; outside them you are visiting a beautiful building rather than a ceremony. Take socks: shoes come off at the gate and the stone courtyard gets painfully hot. Full detail in our Temple of the Tooth guide.
February for the clearest weather, or July-August, which is drier here than most people expect and covers the Esala Perahera. Kandy sits between Sri Lanka's *two* monsoons and catches some of both, so it has no long dry season — but it also never has a season that is a write-off. See best time to visit Kandy.
Reserved seats open 30 days ahead and sell out within hours from December to March. Unreserved 2nd/3rd class is sold on the day and always available — you will stand, which is where the open doorways and the famous photographs are. Sit on the right-hand side going south. Note there is no Nuwara Eliya station; the stop is Nanu Oya, 10 km away. See our Kandy to Ella train guide.
July or August — but the dates move every year with the lunar calendar, so any guide naming a fixed week is guessing. It runs ten nights and ends on the Nikini poya. Book accommodation on the route six to twelve months ahead. Details in our Esala Perahera guide.
Sigiriya and Dambulla (2.5 hrs each way) is the best of them. Kitulgala rafting is 2 hrs, the Knuckles range and Pekoe Trail stages are day hikes from here. Ella, Galle and Yala are *too far* — 4-6 hours each way. See day trips from Kandy.
Two nights. One full day for the town — Bahirawakanda, Peradeniya gardens, the lake and the evening puja — and a second for a hike, a village day or the cultural triangle. Our Kandy 2-day itinerary lays it out hour by hour.
The centre and the lake circuit are walkable. For anything up a hill or out of town, take a tuk-tuk — roughly LKR 100-150/km on the meter, and ride-hailing apps price it automatically with no negotiation. See getting around Kandy.
