The lake is near the Temple of the Tooth and very close to where the Kandyan Cultural Dancing show is, so we did pop down to the lake while we were there. I noticed in the shallows there were hundreds of little fish, even though there were Egrets wading around - it looked like safety in numbers as the egrets...

Nice to escape some of the hustle of the streets of Kandy and spend some time by the lake. Good for photographs during the day and by night. There are boat trips around the lake which I wish I had time to do. Overall pleasant way to spend an hour whilst in the city.

Such a pleasant way to watch the sun go down before wandering into town to eat. So much wildlife and lots of locals and visitors just promenading...this could be Northern Spain!

Lovely quiet and pretty area to walk and catch your breath in a busy city. Take care not to walk there after dark if you are a female on your own.

Beautiful but I was followed around it on more than one occasion (being a single female traveller here was a challenge).

Kandy lake is creating a very nice view to both the ancient Tooth temple and Kandy city. Fish feeding near the lake is common, you also can feed big bunch of fishes at time with pleasant surprise. But this lake is not for Bath. You can get a boat ride at a cost from lake counter.

It is nice to wander on the edge of the lake if the weather is good. Trees create shadows which protect you from heat/sun. Nothing spectacular to see. From the temple to the cultural theater is enough.
Il est agréable de marcher le long du lac si le temps est beau. Les arbres offrent de l'ombre qui permet de supporter...
