Spring Travel And Eye Health Tips

BY  Sibashree Mar 5, 2026

Kandy has been in the news recently for the last-over clincher between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the last ICC T-20 World Cup tournament.  It is also good to see Kandy slowly getting its rhythm back after the major disruption in the beautiful Colombo-Kandy-Ella-Badulla railway due to the impact of Cyclone Ditwah in the latter part of 2025.  With a man-made lake at the epicenter, Kandy, in a bowl of mountains, was home to the last rulers from the Kandyan empire.  Today, it continues to play an important role in the politics, economy, and culture of Sri Lanka as the capital of the Central Province.  Sri Lanka is full of contradictions. From the rich Tamil Culture in Jaffna and the abandoned Buddhist ruins at the Ritigala Forest Monastery, to the bustling city of Kandy, it’s like visiting different countries with a few miles of traveling.  Moreover, Kandy is just 20 km away from Gampola, the home to the famous Ambuluwawa Tower, the symbol of natural diversity and religious inclusivity in Sri Lanka.  Hi, in today’s blog, I will talk about how to reach Kandy, the things to do in Kandy, where to stay, where to eat, and more.  How To Reach Kandy?  Kandy, one of the major cities of Sri Lanka, is easily accessible. If you are a budget traveler and a believer of the LowDownUnder Travel philosophy, you can take a local bus or train for the journey.  1. The Kandy Railway Station: The Major Gateway The Kandy Railway Station is the main gateway to the city if you are traveling from other parts of the island.  Also, this railway station on the beautiful Kandy to Ella line still exudes a colonial charm and shows Victorian influences in its architecture.  A train ride from Colombo to Kandy takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes, and based on the class, the ticket prices cost between LKR 300 and 1200.  You can even take a train on the Kandy to Ella route to explore the tea plantations, mountains, and the highland region.  However, being one of the most scenic railway routes in the world, tickets for these trains are always in high demand.  You can check out the available tickets at the official website of the Sri Lankan Railways. Tickets for a date get sold out even 1 month before.  2. Colombo To Kandy Bus  If you cannot book trains to reach Kandy. Don’t get disheartened, as buses are available from the Bastian Mawatha Bus Station in Colombo.  You can take an ordinary or AC intercity bus to reach Kandy from Colombo. The distance is around 120 km and the travel time is approximately 3-4 hours.  Also, the ticket prices start from LKR 360.  What Are The Things To Do In Kandy?  Kandy is the cultural capital of Sri Lanka. So, no wonder that it offers a good mix of colonial history, spiritual experience, and the serenity of the Kandy Lake.  Also, Kandy is home to the quintessential Singhalese food. I found the delicacies in Kandy to be way creamier and milder than the fiery food in Jaffna.  Nevertheless, I will talk about what to eat in Kandy a little later, and for now, let’s explore the things to do in Kandy and enjoy a mixed bag of experiences.  1. Visiting The Royal Botanic Gardens Hours Open: 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM Entry Fee: LKR 200 for Locals, LKR 3540 for Foreign Visitors From Kandy City, you can take a short tuk-tuk ride to reach the Royal Botanic Gardens. It is home to more than 4000 plants and covers an area of 147 acres.  A green oasis in the overwhelming city landscape, it also has an arboretum and decorative flower beds.  My favorite, however, was the majestic palm tree avenues. However, as the day grew, it got crowded by social media content creators.  Furthermore, there are giant bamboo trees. Another popular photography spot in the national park is the Mahaweli Ganga River suspension bridge. However, more than five people cannot get on the bridge at a time.  So, you may have to wait in a queue if you desperately want a photo for your socials.  Moreover, you will see bats hanging from trees, chipmunks, and monkeys in the botanical gardens. And don’t miss the Spice Garden here.  Also, if you feel hungry, you can buy drinks and snacks from the stalls inside and the local vendors outside the park. 2. Exploring The Udawattakele Forest Reserve Hours Open: 6 AM to 6 PM Entry Fee for Foreigners, LKR 830, For Locals: LKR 70  I walked for around 30 minutes to reach the Udawattakele Forest Reserve. You can even take a tuk-tuk ride from the Centre of Kandy.  It has some of the most famous caves in Candy and diverse fauna.  However, I did not expect that mother macaque monkeys would welcome me with their babies clinging to them.  After the grand entry, I chose the circular route around the park as I wanted to see the religious caves, the bathing pond, and the city viewpoint.  The Route  The green canopy stands in humility as you advance on the route, and now you are transported to a different world.  The birds were chirping, and I could hear the squeal of monkeys.  However, the highlight on that route was the Liana’s. These tree-sized vines created coils along the oath.  I followed the route upward and reached the City View Point.  The City View Point  From the City View Point, I loved the perspective of Kandy City and Lake. Then, walked further to come across the Cittavisuddhi Lena cave and othe two religious caves.  The cave had beautiful sculptures, paintings, and offerings by pilgrims. These are sacred to the Buddhist people.  However, overgrown trees and the fear of insects and bats deterred me from entering the cave and exploring the two other Buddhist caves.  Despite all the cautions, destiny had something different in store for me. There were leeches all over my legs, and luckily, I was carrying adequate salt to get rid of them.  The fellow tourists also helped to remove the leeches.  3. Visiting The Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha Statue The Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha Statue at the top of a hill is the guardian angel of Kandy. You need to take a short and steep walk to reach the Buddha Statue from the town.  You can even take a tuk-tuk.  Once you reach the statue, you can find the steps behind the magnificent statue and climb to higher vantage points looking over the other side of the city of Kandy.  Moreover, there is a small shop from where you can take trinkets and religious texts. The entry fee was 600 LKR when I visited last.  4. Exploring The Kandy Market I mentioned how an old lady in the Jaffna Public Market was the icebreaker during my trip to Jaffna.  In Kandy, it was the Kandy Market, which made me acquainted with the hilly region of Sri Lanka.  The market was near the Kandy Station. I visited it early in the morning and found vendors selling dried fish, bananas, fresh vegetables, and souvenirs.  5. Spending Moments By The Kandy Lake The Kandy Lake, or Lake Kandy, is at the heart of the city and is very close to the Temple of the Tooth.  It is a magnificent man-made lake around which you can take a walk of 2.1 miles. The pathway is called the Cloud Wall, and the highlight of my walk was finding out about the Queen’s bathing pavilion.  This ivory excellence reminded me of the regal past of the Kandy Lake.  I also spotted the ducks, busy schools of fish, and water monitor lizards.  Moreover, there is a well-groomed garden in the center of the lake. When I visited, it was in full bloom.  6. Walking To The Kandy Viewpoint After stretching my legs at the Kandy Lake, I took a short walk to reach the Kandy Viewpoint.  Hiking to the Kandy Viewpoint is one of the most delightful free things to do in Kandy. You can capture panoramic shots of the city from this viewpoint and interact with local hawkers for a meaningful cultural exchange.  7. Visiting The Asgiri Maha Vihara Pirivena - Buddhist Stupa And Temple If you are a Buddhist or someone eager to learn about the religion, visiting the Asgiri Maha Vihara Pirivena is one of the best things to do in Kandy.  This stupa is very close to the city, and I took the stairs across the train tracks to reach the stupa.  For me, the highlight of the stupa was the meditation room on the central floor. The iconographies were grand and meaningful.  Furthermore, the walls there depicted the three stages of decay a body has to undergo after death.  However, I did not yet know what was awaiting me, the dome of the stupa.  Filled with Buddhist artwork, an enormous lotus carving, and eight statues of Lord Buddha, it defined enormity.  The military guide finally took me to the balcony that surrounds the stupa. I found many monks clad in orange robes busy in their rituals, and I also loved the view.  8. Visiting The Temple Of The Tooth A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Temple of the Tooth or Dalada Mandira preserves the canine tooth of Lord Buddha.  It has the Udawaththa Kelaya to the east and the Lake Kandy to the south.  After several invasions and destructions, the temple was finally rebuilt by King Keerthi Sri Rajasinghe, and it is in its current form that we see today.  The temple has beautiful works of ivory, gold, and silver.  More Things To Do In Kandy  Along with being a primary tourist attraction in Sri Lanka, Kandy is also the gateway to many iconic landmarks showing the richness of Sri Lanka in nature and wildlife.  You can take a train ride or a bus ride from Kandy to the Royal Cave Temples of Dambulla. Or, you can attend a wildlife safari in Kaudulla National Park and other national parks of Sri Lanka.  Where To Stay In Kandy? Know The Accommodations I stayed at a hostel near the hillside surrounding the city. It was modest, but the views I got from the room and balcony were amazing.  However, if you are not willing to walk so much, you can choose places such as the Ceyloni City Hotel.  The tariff of this city hotel is around 7500 LKR.  What To Eat In Kandy?  You can choose between vegetarian and non-vegetarian options in Kandy. Balaji Dosai is a nice spot to try vegetarian food, especially dosa.  The Siri Ramya Hotel is the place to try Kottu Roti in Kandy. You can have it as spicy as you want. Also, you can combine them with different types of veggies, eggs, chicken, or mutton.  Another thing you must not miss in Kandy is the snacks available on the bus or train. The fried chips and snacks have a lot of salt and chilli.  However, they are great for the taste buds.  Also, do not forget to try the rice and curry combination at the “famous hole in the wall rice and curry joints” in Kandy.  These offer a nice and filling lunch at the best price.  The Nightlife In Candy: Where To Drink?  Kandy is not a place famous for its nightlife. However, if you want to cherish some drink after a busy day, you can visit places such as The Stag’s Head Pub and the Royal Bar and Hotel.  Enjoy the beers, cocktails, and your favorite drinks with spicy local snacks, and enjoy the view of the city and lake at night.  Drinking at any of these places will cost you around 790 LKR.

There are many different beaches in Washington, including those on the Puget Sound, Pacific Ocean, peninsulas, lakes, and islands. Washington beaches feature grassy dunes, pebbles, rocks, or sand and offer activities like swimming, boating, wildlife observation, tidepool exploration, and gathering driftwood or seashells. Beachgoers may be kept on the shore by the chilly water, but sunsets on Washington's west coast provide the ideal cap for a day at the beach. The most prevalent type of beaches in Washington, Puget Sound, are gravel ones, though they can also be found along the coast (such as the Willapa Bay side of Tokeland). Small-stone beaches aren't great for volleyball, but they tend to attract more marine life because they offer hiding places from raptors. They're a favorite among crabs, and harbor seals graze on mixed gravel beaches. Beaches in Washington If you are looking for the best beaches in Washington, then we are listing some of your top options here. So, look at all the names we are dropping. Golden Gardens Park, Seattle With views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, the 80-acre Golden Gardens Park is home to one of the largest beaches in the Seattle area. Swimming is available at the sandy beach, and hiking, volleyball, and fishing, as well as water sports like sailing, canoeing, and kayaking, are all very popular. On the beach, there are fire pits and a one-acre dog off-leash area available. Read More: The Best Mountain Getaways In Washington: Where To Stay, What To Do, And How To Relax Green Lake Park, Seattle This urban park is about five miles to the north of Seattle's downtown. Visitors can enjoy the grass and sand areas, and lifeguards are on duty during the summer. In addition to tennis courts, an indoor pool, picnic areas, equipment rentals, restrooms, and a historic bathhouse, the park has basketball courts. A 2.8-mile path encircling the lake is popular among bikers, skaters, walkers, and joggers. Madison Park Beach, Seattle Northeast of Seattle's downtown, this little park on Lake Washington's edge offers a small sandy beach, grassy area, parking, tennis courts, restrooms, and lifeguards in the summer. There are benches and a walking path nearby, and guests can go shopping or eat at neighborhood eateries. Alki Beach, Seattle Alki Beach is a 2.5-mile sandy beach located on Elliot Bay in West Seattle, along with a corresponding long pedestrian walkway. One of the eight lighthouses on Puget Sound is a replica of the Statue of Liberty, and it is open for tours. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, beach fire pits are open. There are picnic tables, parking, as well as restrooms. Madrona Park, Seattle Madrona Park, which is on Lake Washington's western shore, has picnic spaces, a bathhouse, a swimming beach, and parking. Together with a grassy shoreline, hiking trails, and views of Mount Rainier, there's a jogging path alongside the lake. During the summer, lifeguards are on duty, and the beaches are open until Labor Day. Madrona Park is one of the least explored beaches in Washington. Jackson Beach, San Juan Island Approximately two miles from Friday Harbor's downtown, this lengthy sandy beach is open all year round. A small dock, volleyball courts, fire pits, barbecue grills, restrooms, and a picnic area are all present. The presence of bioluminescent dinoflagellates, which glow in the dark when a kayak paddle touches them, is an exciting feature. This phenomenon is only available to guided groups. Individuals must make reservations for evening events as the park is closed to visitors. Fort Worden, Port Townsend The sandy beach, which is part of Fort Worden State Park on Puget Sound, has access to a boat ramp, kayak and canoe rentals, and views of the Northern Cascades. Part of the original concrete fortifications still stands from the once-powerful military fort that once guarded the city. So, the exhibits at the Marine Science Center are open to visitors in the summer. There are campgrounds close by, and you can see the lighthouse from the outside. Long Beach, Long Beach Peninsula Long Beach calls itself the "World's Longest Beach." It stretches 28 miles along its shoreline and is in Washington's southwest. Hikers, bikers, as well as walkers can enjoy views of the surrounding landscape and art installations along the 8.5-mile Discovery Trail. A half-mile boardwalk leads down to a grassy dune. The broad, level sands of the peninsula taper off to the horizon in both directions. It is battered by Pacific waves that are nearly always too erratic and too chilly for swimming. It boasts the best boardwalk in the state. The 8.5-mile Discovery Bike Trail meanders among sand dunes, public art, and the restored whale bones. Long Beach's fine, soft sand is created by the addition of clay and silt from the Willapa Bay’s large mud flats. It is paler than beaches in Washington near river mouths because of its higher quartz concentration. Cape Disappointment State Park, Long Beach Peninsula Sandy beaches in Washington, with breathtaking views of Baker Bay and the Pacific Ocean, can be found in the park. Two operational lighthouses, a military fort, as well as the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, which tells the history of Cape Disappointment, are all part of the historic area. In addition to building sandcastles and driftwood forts, beachgoers can hike through coastal forests and explore tidepools. The water is a little too cold for swimming, but there's still plenty to do. This miniature version of Waikiki Beach seems to have welcomed all visitors since it opened. Despite how beautiful the cove and black river sand are, the name doesn't refer to a paradisiacal place but rather to the passing of a Hawaiian sailor who lived nearby. Half Moon Bay, Westport Light State Park, Westport The 560-acre day-use park has grassy dunes and beaches on Half Moon Bay and the Pacific Ocean, as well as picnic areas, restrooms, grills, a lighthouse, and a coastal forest. Moreover, Half Moon Bay and the Pacific Ocean have a 1.3-mile paved path dividing them. Activities nearby include fishing, surfing, as well as exploring the Westport Lighthouse. Moreover, on the beach, dogs are welcome, and camping is available close by. Griffiths-Priday Ocean State Park, Ocean Shores The mouths of the Copalis River and Connor Creek are where you'll find this state park on the Pacific Coast. Walking trails, a boardwalk, and grassy sand dunes all lead to the sandy beach, which is frequently empty. Seashells, migrating birds, and the neighboring Copalis National Wildlife Refuge are all attractions for nature enthusiasts. Many people come here to dig for shellfish, and dogs are welcome. There are picnic tables and restrooms. Luther Burbank Park, Mercer Island Nearly a mile of Lake Washington waterfront is available for swimming, boating, and fishing at this 77-acre park. There are walking trails, tennis courts, picnic areas, grills, a kids' playground, and restrooms (during summer). From October through April, dogs on leashes are welcome on the beach. Mercer Island also offers off-leash areas. You can check out Luther Burbank Park if you are looking for quieter beaches in Washington state. West Beach and Sunset Beach, Washington Park, Anacortes Located in Washington Park on the western tip of Fidalgo Island along the Swinomish Channel, there are two beaches- West Beach and Sunset Beach. There are picnic areas, restrooms, a playground, a boat launch, and beachside fire pit barbecues at Sunset Beach. It comprises 220 acres. West Beach has campsites, a small rocky area, tide pools, and breathtaking views. Lake Sammamish State Park, Issaquah This day-use park has a playground, walking trails through forests and wetlands, and two lakefront beaches. At Tibbets Beach, you can rent equipment for water sports, reserve an outdoor kitchen, and have a picnic area. This 530-acre park hosts annual events, including boat parades, concerts, and nature walks. Dogs on leashes are allowed in the park but not on areas designated as swimming beaches. If you are looking for beaches in Washington, Lake Sammamish is another option. Idylwood Beach Park, Redmond The Idylwood Beach Park is on the northwest coast of Lake Sammamish and has a lot to offer. It has a bathhouse, swimming beach, picnic tables, restrooms, a small boat ramp, a fishing pier, and picnic shelters. The park sprawls over 17 acres of land. It provides the only free recreational access to Lake Sammamish. This popular park also has playground equipment, volleyball courts, fishing, and barbecue pits. Cama Beach On Camano Island, the beach is all about boats. The most well-liked sound-front spot has a parking lot uphill and is hidden from view. Situated near the water, the Center for Wooden Boats and its vintage vessels take center stage. It is encircled by luxurious cedar cabins that resemble a sleepaway camp. The place rents out boats and hosts weekend workshops for building toy boats. Because of the extremely rocky shoreline, transport by sea is the preferred option. North Bay This park on San Juan Island, like many other beaches in Washington, is home to bleached-white driftwood. It forms a barrier between a grassy bluff and dark, dense sand. Guided groups are usually the only ones allowed after the park closes at dusk. North Bay, located just south of Friday Harbor, just outshines everything else. At night bioluminescent dinoflagellates light up the water when in contact with a kayak paddle, making the trip even more memorable. Kitsap County Park's Beach This Kitsap County park's beach is a three-quarter mile walk (all downhill, but that means an ascending stroll on the return trip). The waves are very calm because Vashon Island feels like it is almost touching the narrow finger of Colvos Passage. The required hike keeps the beach comparatively deserted. Crescent Bay Imagine the craggy islands along Washington's coast, minus the ferocious waves. The most striking areas of this county park on the northern edge of the Olympic Peninsula are tucked inland. Moreover, it has old military bunkers buried deep under the overgrown forest, and many of them are concealed behind overgrown trails. Tide pools form the eastern end of the water, and a sandy stretch hugs the relatively calm Crescent Bay. Far off in the distance is Vancouver Island. Quileute Oceanside Resort Sea stacks, or little islands with a few scraggly trees at the top and basking sea lions at the base, are due to rock columns just offshore. About two miles north of Rialto's parking lot, Hole-in-the-Wall is a naturally occurring sea arch in a headland on this section of the national park that is only accessible at low tide. The Quileute Oceanside Resort is next to La Push's dully named First Beach, south of Rialto. Olympic National Park Even with its magnificently isolated beaches, the Olympic National Park still has some gems near the parking lot. Ruby Beach's broad sands are just a quarter mile from Highway 101, and the distance between pavement and dunes at Kalaloch, to the south, is just a few feet. In addition, the Tower of Wisdom is collapsing. It's one of the few spots in the park where dogs are allowed, so keep an eye out for bald eagles and look down on leash-wearing pets. Tokeland Smugglers used the hotel's hidden spot behind the fireplace to hide undocumented workers, and there are plenty of antiques and rooms with floral wallpaper in this 127-year-old establishment. The Victorian-era farmhouse is one of the few businesses in a quiet residential waterfront community, and it looks out over the serene, kelp-filled coast of Willapa Bay. Seaview The Depot restaurant is a welcome diversion on a coast popular for bins of saltwater taffy and hand-caught razor clams rather than for fine dining. The old Clamshell Railroad station has a lot of tables, with chef as well as owner Michael Lalewicz cooking up local oysters as well as combining wild razor clams and Willapa Bay clams for a flavorful chowder. Wrapping Up Washington's beaches, with their unparalleled beauty and ecological significance, stand as a testament to the delicate balance between human joy and environmental responsibility. So, whether you're drawn to the windswept shores of the Pacific or the calm bays of the Salish Sea, Washington's beaches invite all to connect with nature and savor the timeless allure of the coastal landscape.    The unmatched beauty, as well as the ecological significance of Washington's beaches, serve as a testament to the fine line that must be drawn between environmental responsibility and human enjoyment.
