Exploring Kandy & Matale:

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.
