The most ancient and beautiful plants can be seen there. The most popular of these was roses. I like it.

One of the beautiful parks in Sri Lanka. Must visit if you come to Peradeniya. There are many kinds of trees and flowers. It's very large, keep track of your way to avoid missing anything. There are maps here and there. Don't pollute the environment. Good place to take awesome photographs.

This garden in Sri Lanka is truly the best 🪴. It's a family-friendly place, unlike other parks that mainly attract couples. You'll find diverse gardens with roses 🌹, orchids, palm trees, and more. The central garden, adorned with lush green grass, is a standout. Be cautious though, as bringing food is prohibited due to potential monkey 🙊 encounters. Conveniently, parking in front of the garden is free 🅿️.

I recently visited the Peradeniya Botanical Garden with my son, and we had an incredible time exploring the vast and beautiful landscape. The garden is home to a rich variety of fauna and flora, which is sure to impress nature lovers and gardening enthusiasts. The garden also offers plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding greenery. The trees in the garden are magnificent, and we spent hours admiring their natural beauty. The park is accessible, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and the upkeep of the garden, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The Peradeniya Botanical Garden is a must-visit location for anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuvenating day out with family and friends.

Peradeniya Botanical Gardens is so beautiful I couldn’t load all the pictures but what a place to visit It is very cheap prices to get in 2000 for foreigners and 100 for locals They have lots of beautiful gardens and lots of beautiful trees They have one tree that blooms every 42 years then dies They have black bamboo which is very rare and Burma bamboo which grows at a rate of 30cm a day Orchid gardens and a swinging bridge if your game enough to go on it Well worth a visit

One of Sri Lanka's stunning parks. If you visit Peradeniya, you must go there. Flowers and trees come in a variety of varieties. It's really big, so pay attention to your path to make sure you don't miss anything. There are various maps can be found. Avoid damaging the ecosystem. a great location for amazing photos.

Washroom available.also u can have ur lunch break fast in this wonderful place. This is our country treasure so please protect this place

A gem of a garden in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Kandy. Nice place to have a relaxing walk. Do allot at least 2-3 hours to see the many trees, plants and flowers. Has interesting wild life too...

The Garden is huge. There is an enormous variety of trees and flowers and the atmosphere there is so calm and relaxing. It takes at least 4 hours to visit all the garden but on a sunny day is recommended to spend some chill time. For university students there’s a discount.

Peradeniya Botanical Garden is like a dreamy paradise with lots of flowers and huge trees. It's like a secret nature world where you can take a peaceful walk and see pretty ponds. The gardens are so lovely, and it's just a really beautiful place to explore. If you enjoy nature, you'll love spending time in this amazing garden!

As my colleague who recommended it described it: 'Kew x100'. It's a stunning place, with an incredible variety of flora. However my favourite thing was the thousands of fruit bats sleeping in the trees at one end of the gardens. Stunning animals.

It's a must visit place if you have the slightest interest in trees and plantations. Beautiful landscapes and different trees which you never come across. A very peaceful place to spend some good time.

It is indeed beautiful, calm and peaceful. Sometimes it's too crowded. Weekdays are better, with lesser crowd. All sorts of flora can be found here. In side the garden there's cafeterias, a place you can eat, and there's toilets too. The ticket prices are fair. The garden is well maintained and clean but I was bit confused with the directions they've given. You have to spend more than two hours to see all the places in the garden if you're walking. Golf carts can be hired for a quick round visit around the garden too and they explain well about the places. It's worth the visit. If you love nature as well as to get good photos, this is the place for you. Your whole family can enjoy here or kids can play. you visit Kandy Sri Lanka. This is a must visit place. Hope you enjoy without destroying it writing names in the trees and put polythin, plastic there.

The garden was amazing. Well maintained but could use a little fine tuning. The walk through the garden was refreshing and ambient. The trees provided us with shade. The track was well kept and the signs on the trees were very informative. The roses were not in season during our visit but nonetheless the place was worth the visit. The washrooms there werent the best though.

The Peradeniya Royal Botanical Gardens is just 6 kms away from the charming city of Kandy. It is home to an array of exotic and the most eye-catching blooms and plants. It is definitely not just a garden with pretty flora and a landscape. Its history dates back to 1371 it is a place that is not be missed if you are around Kandy. In ancient times the garden has been frequented by royalty as King Keerthi Sri Rajasingha has used it as his courts. With the colonial rule in Sri Lanka the garden received its official botanical garden state when Edward Barnes was the governor. It is said that the plants were even brought from the Kew Gardens to the Peradeniya gardens when the British were giving a new look to the Royal Botanical Gardens. The first tea seedling that was planted in Ceylon was at this Botanical Garden during Edwards Barnes’s time. During the Second World War it has been used as the headquarters of the South East Asia Command by Lord Mountbatten. Today it bears some of the exquisite orchids, indigenous plants and herbs and memorable plants like the Cannonball tree that was planted in 1901 by King George V and Queen Mary of the United Kingdom. This is the most extensive and the largest Botanical garden in Sri Lanka that covers about 146 acres in ground. The most famous and classical Avenue of Palms gives a stately look to the Botanical gardens and the most popular feature is the orchid house that has a magnificent collection of orchids and it is especially renowned for the diverse range of orchids grown in the greenhouse. The garden features about 400 species of the plants and the sheer beauty and the exquisiteness of the plants and flowers attract about 2 million visitors per year. If you happen to visit the Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya make sure you see the dome-like mammoth Javan fig tree that covers about 2500 square meters. You would be dwarfed at the mere sight of this tree that is located in the great lawn. The Herbarium at the Gardens has preserved more than 200,000 dried and preserved specimens over the garden’s 180 year existence. Medicinal plants used for Ayurvedha treatments, over 110 endemic plants, the exquisite collection of orchids are only some of the noteworthy plants that are featured in the Garden. It is better to visit the Botanical Gardens before the sun scorches you. It would be an enjoyable visit without the sweat and heat to enjoy the scenery. So make sure you visit in the morning before 11 am or in the evenings after 4pm to have an unforgettable experience strolling down the palm avenue or enjoying the view of the most beautiful orchids. Pack some snacks and you can have a picnic there under the leafy canopies or in the shade of gigantic trees.

Situated in Kandy’s suburb of Peradeniya, the spectacular Peradeniya Botanical Garden dates to 1371. Once enjoyed for pleasure by a Kandyan queen, this spectacular garden is enclosed on three sides by a large bend in the Mahaweli River. A Kandyan prince’s residence during the 18th Century, in the early 1800s the leafy green tangle became one of the greatest Botanical Gardens in the British Empire. For a short spell during the Second World War, it was used as the Allied Forces Headquarters for the Asian region. The gardens display over 4 000 different species of plants, regarded amongst the most superior in Asia. The highlight is the spectacular Orchid collection and a mighty avenue of palm trees. In addition to a plethora of flowering plants, there is also an extensive collection of medicinal plants and spices which can be spotted on your meander across the gardens. Encompassing over 60 hectares of sublimely designed lawns, pavilions and plant houses, the extraordinary array of Sri Lankan, Asian and international flora is a fragrant, colourful view on the eye. Gorgeous avenues lead on to sections exploding in bursts of tropical colour and vast lawns dotted with enormous trees. Reserved in advance, &BEYOND can organise buggy carts from the Gardens, and offers specialist botanical guides to accompany you during your garden visit. They will share their experiences and practical knowledge about flora and fauna hidden within the garden. A visit usually takes two to three hours.

A place of stunning beauty with a wide variety of plants and flowers. The garden is very well maintained, making it a pleasure to explore. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

Orchid house, rose garden, medicinal plants, spices, palm trees were the most interesting sections. Almost all the plants have a plaque to explain the origin name. The hanging bridge gives an adventurous experience . Mahaweli, the longest river enhances scenic beauty.

A must visit place in Sri Lanka. Thousands of trees and plants collection that everyone should visit. Tequila plant, double coconut, or coco-de-mer (The largest seed in the world), Sausage tree, cannonball tree, 20+ collection of grass, 20+ collection of bamboo plants, 20+ collection of palm trees and Water banana are the most special ones. Also there is a orchid garden inside. At the entrance there is a golf cart and you can hire it to ride around the park. It will comes with a driver/guide. I think everyone must take this ride cause the guide will explain everything.

I recently visited the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens in Kandy and I must say, it was an amazing experience! If you want to reset your mind and soak in some peace, this is the perfect place. The gardens are absolutely stunning, and the variety of plants and flowers is breathtaking. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and a must-visit destination if you're traveling to Kandy."

It is absolutely beautifully curated and well kept Botanical garden. We were able to get a battery operated car shared with another family and the guide was very kind and knowledgeable. In the 1.5 hours of tour we saw atleast 30 varieties of trees and shrubs from different parts of world. Absolutely must visit in Kandy.

Beautiful facility. Here you can see endemic trees that only exist here because of the radical deforestation of the jungle by the English for the tea plantations. Pleasantly cool even on hot days. Highly Recommended.

The botanical garden was very big. It was not a flowering season (spring) so the type of flowers were limited. The section in which orchids were placed was good. Visit to the suspension bridge was good but looking at the antiqueness of the steel ropes and strips it is dangerous to allow people on it.

Beautiful, extensive, well maintained gardens with many different species of plants. Only had time for a couple of hours here but could have stayed longer. Very tranquil despite being in the heart of Kandy.

Wonderfully managed Botanical Garden right in the heart of Kandy, Sri Lanka. The variety of foreign trees and plants that are being nurtured and grown is amazing. A must visit place for nature lovers.

An absolute must for anyone visiting Kandy. The most serene and well-kept botanical gardens you will see anywhere. Visual delight and soothing .

Vehicle parking slots available In front of the main gate opposite to the road ( paid) But you can park vehicle bedside the road ( weekends) without disturbing the traffic The map is not much clearer and better if they introduce App to use while walking inside. If you make a plan before walking inside you can manage time and be able to observe everything without missing any point. During the visit get idea about the location of the washrooms and cafeteria. If it is going to rain, don't forget to bring an umbrella.,🤪 Morning and Evening time are the best for visiting here. If you are unable to find the location, ask for help from the security team ( patrol)

Beautiful place... Had fun. There are different different flowers and trees.... we can get good knowledge... Well maintained... really nice place. 🥰🎀❤️

Beautifully maintained place to roam around and see. Nothing much though. No order. You can go and walk around in whatever order you like. I wish there was some guidance on how to cover everything.

Really nice. Visit takes at least two hours. It would be nice to have more signs with plant names and description.
