Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
Sri Lanka's cultural heart, set around a temple and a tranquil lake.
Kandy is Sri Lanka's cultural capital, the last stronghold of the island's kings, cradled by green hills around a peaceful lake. Its crowning glory is the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, the country's holiest Buddhist shrine. Evenings bring the drums and fire of traditional Kandyan dance, while the surrounding hills hide botanical gardens and spice trails. Holiday Vibez places Kandy at the heart of your Sri Lanka itinerary, on the way up to the tea country.

Kandy blends deep spiritual significance with cool hill-country air. As the guardian of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the home of Kandyan dance, it is the beating cultural heart of Sri Lanka and a natural stop between Colombo and the tea hills.
Beyond the famous temple, Kandy rewards slow exploration:
Kandy is around three to four hours by road from Colombo airport, or reachable by a scenic train. Most travellers arrive by private car and driver, which allows easy stops at spice gardens along the way.
Set in the hills, Kandy is pleasant much of the year but at its best December to March with clearer skies. The city is especially vivid during the Esala Perahera festival, when the relic is paraded with elephants and dancers.
An online ETA is required for Indian passport holders before travel. It is generally quick to obtain, and Holiday Vibez assists with your application.
Dress modestly at the Temple of the Tooth — shoulders and knees covered — and remove shoes and hats before entering. Photography of yourself posing with Buddha images is discouraged, so follow your guide's cues.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
