What is the best time to visit Kandy?

Margaret Hines

The best time to visit Kandy is during the months of December to April, when the weather is relatively dry and pleasant. This period is ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities. However, if you want to experience the vibrant Esala Perahera festival, plan your visit in July or August. This grand procession features traditional dancers, drummers, and beautifully adorned elephants.
