How much is the entrance fee for the Temple of the Tooth.
3 Answers from travellers
The entrance fee for the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy is currently 2000 LKR for foreign tourists, which is roughly equivalent to 6 or 7 USD.
You purchase the ticket at the automated kiosks or the main ticket counter just outside the security checkpoints. They accept cash and major credit cards.
Make sure to keep your ticket handy as there are multiple checkpoints inside the temple complex where guards will ask to see it.
