Kandy Lake, also known as Kiri Muhuda (Sea of Milk), is a tranquil man-made lake in the heart of Kandy city, built in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe. Encircled by a shaded walkway, the lake is bordered by the iconic Temple of the Tooth Relic, colonial buildings, and lush greenery. The “Kandy Lake Round” is a scenic circular route that offers visitors a peaceful walk, chances for birdwatching, and close-up views of the city’s heritage and daily life. The path is about 3.5 km and is ideal for both early morning and late evening strolls.
