Highlights

Kandy is Sri Lanka's cultural heart — a city of sacred temples, cool hills, and stories that have shaped an entire civilisation.


This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Kandy on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.


• Find the Temple of the Tooth, St. Paul's Church, and the Kataragama Devalaya — Buddhism, colonial heritage, and Hindu devotion sharing the same hillside
• Move through Kandy at a pace that lets you take it all in
• Perfect for families, couples, pilgrims, and curious travellers


Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English.


Three faiths, one city, more history than an afternoon can hold — start early.

Itinerary

  • 7JVQ+HRR

    Starting in central Kandy near the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. The lake, the palace, and the temple are all within reach — the riddles connect them. Your first landmark is the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, Sri Lanka's most venerated Buddhist site, said to house a tooth of the Buddha and the symbol of royal authority for the Kandyan kings. The golden roof and the procession of pilgrims make it unmissable at any hour. From there the app guides you to St. Paul's Church, the Anglican church built by British colonists in 1843 whose elegant white facade and peaceful garden occupy a hillside above the town — a reminder of Kandy's layered history. The route concludes at the Kataragama Devalaya, a Hindu temple within the sacred complex that draws devotees from across Sri Lanka and demonstrates the remarkable religious pluralism of this hilltop city. Around 2 hours on foot. The lake circuit is particularly pleasant, and the town is compact enough to cover comfortably on foot.
