Vollständige Beschreibung

Sorabora ist ein Stausee nahe Mahiyanganaya, oestlich von Kandy auf der anderen Seite der Huegel, und er ist alt, die Schleuse wurde im zweiten Jahrhundert vor unserer Zeitrechnung aus einem einzigen Felsblock geschnitten, und der lokale Name dafuer, das Meer von Bintenna, ist keine grosse Uebertreibung, wenn der Nebel bei Tagesanbruch darauf liegt.

Dort fuer den Sonnenaufgang hinzukommen bedeutet, Kandy mitten in der Nacht zu verlassen, was der Preis der ganzen Reise ist. Was Sie bekommen, ist eine Stunde auf dem Wasser in einem traditionellen Boot, waehrend das Licht aufgeht, mit den Huegeln im Hintergrund und fast niemand sonst draussen. Es fotografiert aussergewoehnlich gut und steht auf keinem Standardreiseplan.

Der Tag bewegt sich dann zu einem laendlichen Dorf im Bintenna-Land, Landwirtschaft, Kochen, und die gewoehnlichen Geschaefte eines Ortes weit ausserhalb der Touristenroute.

Die Wasserfaelle schliessen ihn ab. Ratna Ella ist 111 Meter hoch, der zweithoechste Sri Lankas, erreicht auf einer Wanderung durch den Wald, und Kaluwa Wetuna ist kleiner mit einem Becken, das sich zum Schwimmen lohnt. Dann die lange Rueckfahrt, mit Ankunft in Kandy am Abend.

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 Kandy; the exact address and time are confirmed after booking.
The price does not cover meals and drinks, gratuities, entrance fees where they apply, personal expenses.. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Unless the option says private, this runs as a small group. The operator caps it rather than filling a coach, and if you want it to yourselves the private option is priced separately on this page.
Beyond Escapes. 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.

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.
