Kandy is magnificent, with its chaos and its noisy traffic, but it is really worth stopping to admire the sunset and the sunlight reflected on the white facades of the temple of the "tooth" so called because inside it is covered with a relic sacred, a tooth that belonged to Buddha.

A lot of traffic around the Kandy Lake, it is located in the heart of the city and is very popular with walkers, it is just the idyllic Kandy Lake, another name is Bogambara Lake. Actually rice fields should be created here, but the last king prefers to create a lake. The king called him milk sea from the hythology of the Hindus. If you have enough time, you can take a boat trip on the Kandy Lake and walk around the lake on foot.
