With the train through the Jungle of Sri Lanka - we said welcome to Kandy. The second big city in Sri Lanka. Situated in the middle of the country, in the deep green jungle. We stayed there 3 nights and looked at temples, elephants and the green nature. Beautiful place, the city it self wasn't that charming. It was raining quite a lot, but wasn't that bad as we had a nice hotel and good breakfast.
From the spiritual point of view Kandy is famous for the Temple of Tooth as there is stored a tooth of Buddha. This relic was an important source of the Sinhalese monarchy and therefore was always kept in the respective residence . It makes the city one of the most important pilgrimage sites of Buddhism.
