Royal Botanical Gardens

Reviewed By swift314 - Sheffield, United Kingdom

Beautiful gardens just outside of the town, quite large well laid out and easy to navigate , lots of unusual plants and trees with a large poulation of fruit bats at the top end of the gardens. Well worth a trip and easy to spend 3 or 4 hours here. Nice orchid house and a variety of animal and bird life.

Udawattekele Sanctuary

Reviewed By 905niamhi

This sanctuary is pure beauty! It is so peaceful inside and a great escape from the bustling city. There are many different paths you can take in the park, some short for those not wanting to walk too far, and some longer ones for those after a longer walk. There is also a cycle path. There are also lots of monkeys, which are great entertainment! We also spotted a turtle in the river. This place is definitely underrated and should more a must see for anyone visiting Kandy!
