r/kandy

Hey guys, I'm a 21M from Colombo, planning on visiting kandy for a few days (maybe 2 nights) with a couple of friends, and I was wondering what i can do over there.
Planning on staying right at the city center.
What places can I visit? And I where can we properly socialize with similar aged Kandyans? Any ideas on what kinda things to do or events to look out for? Planning on going sometime in july/ early august the latest. Give me all the details whether it be cafes/social clubs/events/ nightlife or even good camping, hiking spots, lesser known local attractions near the city.

Also does anyone know a reliable place to rent out some bikes or scooters or a car as a local without any major hassle? (even electric bicycles are alright)

A side ques: what do the uni students of the several local unis in the area do for fun? any social events from these unis coming up (pera/sliit etc) in July /August?

Feel free to suggest things that I haven't mentioned up in the description. Thanks!

Is there anywhere in Kandy to buy fresh salmon?

Hi guys I am looking forward to visit Kandy tomorrow by bike. Hoping to stay the weekend. I have few questions.

1. Is it raining these days?
2. Cafe recomendation ?
3. A good clothing store?
4. Things to do for fun

Thanks a lot for your time.

Any places where I can play tennis with a bunch of friends for like an hour? I know Kandy Garden Club has a court but I heard it’s for members only?

I'm a 20 year old girl and I've been dealing with depression for quite some time, but I'm finally in a better place now and want to slowly start engaging with society again.

I'm very shy, introverted, and have social anxiety, so I struggle a lot with social situations, especially around boys. I tend to become very quiet and awkward.

I'm looking for something small to start with, like a sport, dance class, music class, art class, or any other group activity in Kandy. I'm not trying to become really good at anything, I just want to get out of the house, meet new people, and gradually become more comfortable around others. I do better in supportive and friendly environments.

I'm not planning to do a job right now, and my university starts in the middle of next year. Until then, I want to keep myself occupied because staying home tends to make my thoughts worse.

Can anyone recommend places or activities in Kandy that would suit someone like me? I'd also appreciate info about the environment, the people, and how easy it is to fit in.

No public speaking suggestions please. Anything else is welcome.

I have some not so old non fiction books to donate. If anyone knows where or someone needs in Kandy I am happy to give them.

So I was looking to start my own Hot Wheels collection and all I really need to know is where's a good shop i could find genuine hot wheels that aren't the fantasy fictional ones?

Hey everyone,

​I’m urgently looking to rent a MacBook for just 5 days. I have a Swift/iOS exam coming up on the 2nd and I need a physical Mac to take it on.

​I can pay a rental fee of 2,500 LKR per day. Will be using xcode so I might need least 30gb available storage space and will take excellent care of your machine while I have it.

​I'm based in the Katugastota/Kandy area and can travel a bit to pick it up and drop it back off.

​If you have a spare MacBook you'd be willing to rent out for a few days, please drop a comment or send me a DM.

​Thanks in advance!

I’m in my mid-twenties and recently got married and moved to Kandy from Colombo. Before relocating, I had a successful corporate career, an active social life, and a close circle of friends. At the moment, I’m not working, and the transition to a new city and lifestyle has been quite challenging.

I’d love to connect with other women who are also looking to make friends or expand their social circles. I’m particularly interested in business, fitness, sports, arts, and other community activities or clubs in Kandy where I can meet like-minded people..
