Kandy, the hill capital of Sri Lanka, is home to the sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha — a treasure deeply revered by Buddhists worldwide.
Every August, the city comes alive with the Kandy Esala Perahera, one of Asia’s grandest cultural processions. This magnificent event features traditional dancers, whip crackers, fire performers, and beautifully adorned elephants parading through the streets in honour of the sacred relic.
Guests staying at Mountbatten Bungalow during this time are perfectly placed to witness the spectacle, with Kandy city just 15 minutes away, the magic of the Perahera is within easy reach.
At Mountbatten, we take pride in sharing the richness of Sri Lankan culture with visitors from around the world, preserving traditions that inspire awe and unity. 🙏✨
