Unlock the hidden experiences of Kandy Lake

In Kandy, Sri Lanka, there are many treasure spots worth visiting! 📍Kandy Viewpoint Here, a large tree and a platform offer views of most of the lake and distant mountains. Standing on the platform under the old banyan tree, you can take in the vast Kandy Lake and the faraway hills, especially stunning at dusk when the clouds and sunset colors create a perfect photo moment. 📍Malwatta Temple Kandy Flocks of pelicans flap their wings over the lake, while egrets and turtles play among the lotus flowers. The best part is standing on the opposite shore of the temple, gazing at the Temple of the Tooth; its golden roof reflects in the lake, framed by nature and wildlife. Come to Kandy and start a cost-effective and relaxing journey!

Jetwing Kandy Gallery, A Luxury Reserve

Exploring Kandy & Matale: where luxury, jungle vibes, and epic ancient sites collide 🇱🇰✨ Sri Lanka is wildly welcoming and packs a punch for adventurers, foodies, and anyone craving riverfront peace. Top Spots to Visit: Jetwing Kandy Gallery, A Luxury Reserve (De Soysa Estate Gonawatta Maligathanne, Kandy): This hotel is a true sanctuary with gorgeously modern rooms (balcony views = morning goals!), a stellar pool, tranquil spa, and the Mahaweli River right at your doorstep. Food here is next-level: both Sri Lankan and Western dishes, beautifully plated—don’t skip their traditional breakfast if you want a real taste of Sri Lanka. Sigiriya Palace (Sigiriya, Sri Lanka): Don’t miss climbing this breathtaking ancient fortress. Get there early to beat the crowds and heat, plus the sunrise views from the top are totally worth the effort. Preaching Rock | Sigiriya (XQ55+7CG, Sigiriya): Less busy than the main palace, hike to this spot for sweeping sights of the jungle and the iconic rock. Wear grippy shoes—paths can get slippery after rain! Getting Around: Hire a local driver for max flexibility and easy day trips between Kandy and Matale—it’s affordable, safe, and saves stress vs. public transport. Tuk-tuks work for short distances but agree on your fare up front. Food Rec: Jetwing’s restaurant is a must-try and great for mixing local and global tastes. Elsewhere, ask for “rice & curry” at any small eatery for an authentic meal. Extra Tips: Sri Lanka weather changes quickly—pack a rain jacket and lightweight clothes. Cash is king in remote areas; ATMs are easy to find in big towns. Most visitors get Sri Lanka’s ETA visa online in minutes. #SigiriyaViews #SriLankaLuxury #TravelSriLanka #JetwingKandy #CulturalTrail
