Very pretty walk of around an hour. Nice to stop for an ice cream and admire the lake dwellers (a variety of birds, water monitors, turtles, carp). Sadly, as foreigners, we were stopped every 10 steps for a tuk tuk, etc. takes the joy out of it really. Also the pavement is treacherous in places as the (magnificent) tree roots have significantly lifted the sidewalk in many places.

I recently took my clients for a leisurely walk around Kandy Lake, and it was an experience to remember! The serene ambiance, coupled with the breathtaking sunset views, made it a perfect outing. The tranquil surroundings provided an ideal setting for meaningful conversations with my clients. Don't forget to try when you are in Kandy. It added an extra layer of delight to our experience. Whether you're a local or a visitor, a stroll around Kandy Lake during sunset is an absolute must-do!

The Kandy Lake, also known as Kiri Muhuda or the Sea of Milk, is indeed a picturesque and serene spot in the heart of Kandy, Sri Lanka. Created in 1807 by King Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe, it serves as a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city. The lake’s lush surroundings, charming island in the center, and the historical and cultural significance it holds make it a favorite among both locals and tourists. Walking around the lake, with its scenic views and peaceful ambiance, truly adds a touch of glamour and tranquility to the vibrant city of Kandy.

Kandy is the „mountain-capital” at an altitude of 490 metres. In the centre there is a long artificial lake. We first saw it from the top, from the lookout point, but then walked past it and looked at the beautiful and tranquil villas.

I exited the Queens’ Bath and began a nice, leisurely walk on the Kandy Lake promenade. One of the noticeable bits is the number of ducks, egrets, herons and ibises here. The nicest part to walk along the Lake is the area around the Sri Dalada Maligawa because the other parts are right on the road with heavy traffic.

Easy stroll round the man made lake. It's so dirty I found it hard to enjoy. Beware of tuk tuk drivers who want to sell you tours (taking you to scam shopping places)
