Kandy
Nestled amid lush greenery and rolling hills, Kandy in Sri Lanka captivates visitors with its rich history and cultural charm. Home to the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Kandy beckons with its serene lake, vibrant markets, and colorful festivals. The city's cool climate and picturesque landscapes provide a tranquil escape, while its bustling streets offer a glimpse into the island's vibrant culture and warm hospitality.
Gregory Lake was created in 1873 by the British era Governor at the time, Sir William Gregory, supposedly for the purpose of providing electricity. However, the lake was mainly used for leisure and recreation after it was built. At its peak of fame, Gregory Lake was the most prominent attraction in the area and was used as a place to relax by many visitors. Now visitors can follow the ancient British era tradition of relaxing picnics on the shore of the lake, or more modern leisure activities such as rides in swan-shaped paddle boats, normal boat rides, pony rides along the shore, water walking balls, watersports such as jet skis, windsurfing and etc. As such with these many attractions Gregory Lake is a family-friendly historic location of SriLanka, attracting many holidaymakers who visit the country.

The park was formally named in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee. The park was established with the planting of its first tree, an Oak, by a visiting German Princess. The Nanu Oya River runs through the park, creating a number of small lakes. A number of rare bird species can be found in the park. At the far end of the park is a small children’s playground and miniature ridable railway.
