Kandy
Kandy served as the Capital of the last Sinhalese Kingdom, which fell to the British in 1815 after defying the Portuguese and
Dutch for three centuries. It took the British another 16 tough years to finally build a road linking Kandy with Colombo. The
locals still proudly see themselves as a little different – and perhaps a tad superior – to Sri Lankans from the island’s lower reaches.
Sri Dalada Maligawa or the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic is a Buddhist Temple in the City of Kandy, Sri Lanka. It is locat ed in
the Royal Palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy, which houses the Relic of the Tooth of the Buddha. Since anci ent
times, the Relic has played an important role in local politics because it is believed that whoever holds the Relic holds the
governance of the country. Kandy was the last Capital of the Sri Lankan Kings and is a World Heritage Site mainly due to the Temple.

Breakfast at the Hotel l Proceed to Colombo
Colombo
The name "Colombo", first introduced by the Portuguese in 1505, is believed to be derived from the classical Sinhalese name Kolon thota, meaning "Port on the River Kelani". It has also been suggested that the name may be derived from the Sinhalese name Kola-amba-thota which means "Harbor with Leafy Mango Trees". Due to its large harbor and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. However, it was only made the Capital of the island when Sri Lanka was ceded to the British Empire in 1815, and its status as Capital was retained when the nation became independent in 1948. In 1978, when administrative functions were moved to Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Colombo was
designated as the Commercial Capital of Sri Lanka.
