Empire cafe in Kandy

August 27, 2019

After running around the entire day.. being my touristy best.. I was starving for a good Srilankan Fish and some soothing Ceylon tea!

Honest to God guys, Srilanka offers the best tea in the entireee world … I repeat entireee!

Me and my bestie strolled around the Kandy tooth Relic temple… for hours! Just as we got out of this serene evening prayer ceremony we spotted the Empire Cafe tucked away at this corner , right beside the Kandy post office

Empire cafe in Kandy

Empire cafe is very colonial in every sense of the word. With high chairs and outside seating to long community tables; every bit of timber used for the decor reminded me of the petit cafes around Mayfair’s, London

Here’s what I wore to this 1-day adventure to Kandy.

Sipping away my Ceylon Tea with such happiness.

You must visit the Empire Cafe while touring Kandy. Simbaaaaly Awesome !

So I started my 1 week long Sri-lankan sojourn with Kandy. The peaceful train journey from Kandy to Pinnawala was not only breathtaking but also calming.

It felt as though the mountains and hills were calling me for the longest time.

Where did I find these beautiful Elephants?

You definitely have to take this train to Pinnawala Elephant reserve. Just Rs.400 (SLR)
Here’s what I wore to this arduous train ride among foggy mountains & absolutely beautiful waterfalls.

Picturesque Train Ride to Pinnawala

 North Srilanka demands rigourous walking. So please pack a sack-full of chips, biscuits and wafers(Unless if you are travelling with a Gujju friend then you are sorted.. just like I was)

 What to pack for 1 day trip to Kandy?

Kandy is cooler in the day and gets even more pleasant by the evening. so ensure you are layered up Good!
Denims with a tee and comfortable walking shoes are advised. The ever-bright shining Sun compensates for all the extra-layering and make your skin & hair glow like a million Diamonds!
