Cultural Festivals

Kandy Perahera, Vesak, and a calendar of light

Overview

About thisexperience

Sri Lanka's festival calendar is one of the richest in Asia — from the illuminated processions of Vesak and Poson to the Kandy Esala Perahera, one of the great pageants of the Buddhist world.

We time itineraries around these events, secure the best viewing positions and arrange discreet access for our travelers. Cultural festivals are a chance to see the island at its most alive.
