Historic Kandy Lake
Kandy Lake, locally known as Kiri Muhuda, is an artificial lake built in 1807 by King Sri Vikrama Rajasinha, the last king of Kandy. The lake sits in the heart of Sri Lanka's cultural capital, adjacent to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.
Natural Beauty The panoramic vista captures mature tropical trees framing the emerald-green waters, with a distinctive bare tree leaning into the lake on the right. The paved walkway along the shore is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.
