Little bit about Kandy Lake
The lake built in 1807 by the King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe is situated in the heart of Kandy adjacent to the temple of the Tooth Relic. The lake is believed to be connected to the royal palace by a secret tunnel during the times of the King. The beautiful water reservoir in the middle of the city controls the temperature and keeps the surrounding chill. There are few boat ride services and you can enjoy the ride and the climate in middle of the vast freshwater. Fishing in the lake and littering is strictly prohibited. The place is lovely for an evening walk, jogging, or to sit back on the benches and have a chat. Beauty of the lake is multiplied many times on a full moon day.
