Kandy Esala Perahera – Exploring the grandest of all Buddhist festivals

Kandy Esala Perahera is an annual event in Sri Lanka celebrated by the Buddhists, but attended by visitors from all around the world, mainly because of the grand majesty that the festival has which is quite unmatchable to any other possession in the world. The 2019 perahera was successfully concluded in the month of July and the tourist crowd has now been invited to plan their cultural tours in Sri Lanka in late July 2020 during which the next possession is planned.

As this procession is rich with several rituals and cultural practices, tourists have always loved exploring it with their families and friends for so long. Special security arrangements are also made within the Kandy city during the time of the procession, which generally lasts for almost a week. Travel agents the likes of Nkar Travel House have especially designed tour packages for the Esala Perahera that can be customized according to requirements, and that will surely help tourists explore the cultural and traditional values of Sri Lanka, in their deepest senses.
