Descripción completa

Sorabora es un embalse cerca de Mahiyanganaya, al este de Kandy al otro lado de las colinas, y es antiguo, la compuerta se talló en un solo bloque de roca en el siglo segundo antes de nuestra era, y el nombre local, el Mar de Bintenna, no es una gran exageracion cuando la niebla se posa sobre el al amanecer.

Llegar alli para el amanecer significa salir de Kandy en mitad de la noche, que es el precio de todo el viaje. Lo que obtiene es una hora en el agua en un bote tradicional mientras sube la luz, con las colinas detras y casi nadie mas fuera. Se fotografia extraordinariamente bien y no esta en ningun itinerario estandar.

El dia se traslada entonces a un pueblo rural en el pais de Bintenna, agricultura, cocina, y los asuntos ordinarios de un lugar bien fuera de la ruta turistica.

Las cascadas lo cierran. Ratna Ella mide 111 metros, la segunda mas alta de Sri Lanka, alcanzada en una caminata por el bosque, y Kaluwa Wetuna es mas pequeña con una poza que merece la pena para nadar. Luego el largo trayecto de regreso, llegando a Kandy por la noche.

Kandy fue la ultima capital de los reyes cingaleses, resistiendo a portugueses y holandeses hasta que los britanicos la tomaron en 1815, y el Templo de la Sagrada Reliquia del Diente junto al lago es la razon de su importancia: la reliquia, considerada un diente de Buda, es el objeto mas sagrado de la isla y su custodia legitimaba antiguamente la realeza. La camara de la reliquia abre para puja tres veces al dia, aproximadamente a las 5:30, 9:30 y 18:30, cuando comienzan los tambores y la fila pasa junto al relicario. La vestimenta cubre hombros y rodillas, los zapatos se quitan en la entrada, y el Esala Perahera en julio o agosto pasea el relicario sobre un elefante por la ciudad durante diez noches.

Preguntas frecuentes

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.
