Enormous statue of Buddha overlooking Kandy. Excellent views from the top. There is a small charge to get in and then you will be asked to make a donation when in. Shoes off and left at the entrance. Well worth a visit.

This place consist of very nice statue of Load buddha, and this is a very nice small temple. Surrounding was very nice for relaxing time.

Was lovely up at the statue, pay entry fee and climb the few stairs to the sensation view across Kandy plus take In the stature of the Buddha statue. Very peaceful spot. A must while in Kandy.

Steep climb to the top - but worth the view and photo opportunity - calm and peaceful once at the top

Beautiful views of Kandy and a really peaceful place. Unless you are very fit and love a steep climb you should take a taxi or tuk tuk to get to the top and you will be rewarded with a stunning view. There are great photo opportunities from all sides of the Statue of the Buddha.

This Buddha Statue if in full white colour and very huge. It was built on a top of a hill called " Bahirawa Kanda". You can see the statue from far away since it is huge and on a top of the hill. It gives lot of glamour to Kandy city.

Great views from the top of the whole of kandy. Makes you feel good to see the statue lit up at night and know you climbed it
