Start with a journey to Kandy, deep in the jungle with rigged rock faces and torrential rivers. Kandy had once been a fortress for the Sinhala Monarchs. Because of its natural barriers, Kandy is still isolated and is a rewarding experience. Kandyans are noted for their culinary achievements and are very protective of their secrets. They are incredible hosts and the reason many hotels are still owned and run by families. To reach Kandy you must travel up and along hairpin bends.
