"We stayed in this hotel for three days while we explored Kandy. The hotel itself is set in a beautiful serene. There is a high level of attention to detail with the rooms, everything has been carefully considered. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Although the hotel is outside of the city, the hotel is more than happy to arrange transport to and from the centre at short notice. The food is cooked to order and tasted delicious. Would highly recommend this hotel."

The only way to get there is a tuktuk or scooter, but that still could be dangerous. Just know that it is a long way out of Kandy."

Venture to Pallekele International Cricket Stadium and Kandy Lake—just two of the sights around Pallekele.

I yet again walk in a blissful valley of peacefully flowing river, of endless sight, of warm sunshine, of glowing grass and blooming flowers, of blue sky and white clouds, of serene village life and adventurous mud road, of untold stories and some historic memories. 
As I walk by the river bank falling in love with every moment passing by under the golden sunshine, I am reminded of the eternal beauty of this wonderful earth which never stops to surprise us. 
We humans have created huge expectations of a 'Beautiful' world, sometimes overlooking the little joys of exploring and discovering the simplistic beauty of a neighboring land. 
If explored with a open mind and joyful heart you will discover beauty in every corner of the earth. 
P.S. - This valley with a river was outside my Airbnb stay in Kandy.
