One full Sunday in Kandy before First Randoli. Want a calm morning - quiet temple visit or a lake walk - before evening crowds return. What actually feels peaceful after a festival weekend.

Lake walk early is the gentler reset. Temples are fine too if you go as doors open and skip the photo scrum.

If legs are heavy, the lake loop with shade breaks beats another indoor queue. Save energy for Randoli.

Carry water either way. Warm-weather Sundays sneak up even when the morning looks soft.
