Sri Lanka is renowned for its natural beauty, from its expansive national parks to its sun-kissed beaches. But few places illustrate this fact better than the island’s central highlands. This is a region full of rolling green hills, massive mountains that tower above the landscape and patches of verdant forests. So, what better way to spend your time here than climbing up a hill yourself and getting a spectacular view of all this scenery!

The Kandy View Point is located atop a hill that rises above the famous Kandy Lake. It has been named numerous times as one of the best tourist attractions and places to visit in the city. Reaching the hill is relatively easy if you take a taxi or tuk-tuk. You can also just make a short hike of the whole thing as you can reach the viewpoint on foot. The ascent up the hill can be challenging but it is by no means impossible and once you reach the top, it’ll all be worth it! From up here, you’ll be treated to a panoramic view of the landscape – all the lakes, forests, houses and hills. You’ll even have a grand view of the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic. This is sure to be a sight you won’t soon forget.
