Although Peradeniya bridge has tremendous view, the safety is not ensured. The fence is too low, and anyone can jump easily.

A beautiful view of the beautiful Mahaweli river can be seen here.

Peradeniya is famed for its Botanical Gardens, established by the British in what was once the pleasure gardens of the Sinhala kings. The graceful single-arch satinwood bridge was constructed by Lt. General John Fraser, who was a proficient road-builder and cartographer. It was in use from 1833-1905. Satinwood is the name for a hard and durable wood with a lustrous sheen like satin. It comes from two tropical trees of the family Rutaceae.

Peradeniya Bridge is a historic and iconic bridge located in the town of Peradeniya, near Kandy in Sri Lanka. This bridge is officially known as the "Victoria Bridge" and holds great significance in the region. The Peradeniya Bridge was constructed during British colonial rule in the late 19th century and is named in honor of Queen Victoria. It stands as a symbol of Sri Lanka's colonial history and engineering achievements of that era. The bridge features intricate and beautiful ironwork, showcasing the architectural style of the time. The intricate details and design of the bridge make it a remarkable piece of historical architecture. The bridge spans the Mahaweli River, Sri Lanka's longest river, and connects Peradeniya to the neighboring town of Katugastota. It serves as a vital transportation route in the region. It is not only a functional bridge but also a tourist attraction due to its historical and architectural significance. Visiting the Peradeniya Bridge is a unique experience, allowing one to step back in time and appreciate the rich history and engineering prowess of Sri Lanka during the colonial era. It's also an excellent spot for taking in the natural beauty of the Mahaweli River and its surroundings.

One of the major bridge which connects the kandy to Peradeniya The fence's height is insufficient to prevent falling, making it unsafe.

One of an ancient and beautiful bridges in Kandy area.. One of the entry points to Kandy Town..

It's a Bridge! I don't know why Google wants me to review this!? In non-rainy seasons the river can look beautiful from the Bridge.

It was a great experience at gregory lake Nuwara Eliya. Highly recommended to visit all.

More vehicles can travel throw safely this bridge and with a nice surrounding

During my youth I enjoyed the fishing, the swim across the river to the botanical gardens, and making rafts to carry bamboo down stream. What a wonderful time. To stand on this bridge is and was a beauty to watch the river flow. So many a times I escaped death.

That bridge is aesthetically pleasing but it is one of the causes for heavy traffic in Peradeniya town area.

Little narrow, carefully walk along the bridge road in traffic time

Sangili Palama is a type of a narrow suspension bridge (hanging bridge)  which lies across rivers in various part of Sri Lanka. The ancient Sangili Palama’s were built using large ropes but now steel cables are used in building these bridges.  These bridges are so narrow only pedestrians can use them and most of the time barely 2 people can pass each other. Wooden planks are laid across the cables but in most cases due to non maintenance some planks can be found missing creating gaping holes. the  The thrill of a Sangili Palama is the walking across it with the whole bridge bouncing with every steps and swaying side to side. With the bouncing and swinging increasing as you move towards the center of the bridge with rattling notices from stretching cables and loose planks , most people find walking across these types of suspensions bridges nerve wrecking. There are few long and popular suspension bridges in Sri Lanka. Some of them are Peradeniya Hanging Bridge across Mahaweli Ganga and the Ruwanwella Sangili Palama across Kelani Ganga which is believed to be the the longest in the country. Peradeniya Sangili Palama lies across the mighty Mahaweli Ganga (River) connecting the Peradeniya Botanical Garden and the Gannoruwa School of Agriculture. Two pairs of 9.5 meter high steel pillars hold the steel cables of the 127 meter long bridge.  It has been built in 1931, during the British rule of then Ceylon. This bridge lies a at the far end of the Peradeniya Botanical Garden. Walking straight in to the garden from the entrance, you will come to the great circular park. Continuing straight through this park brings you to the Royal Palm Avenue, adorned with tall palm trees on both sides. The bridge lies at the far end of this road where it meets the Mahaweli River. This is about a 1.2 km walk from the entrance

The vibe of Kandy started feel firstly there..😇❤️

can enjoy a nice walk if you avoid the traffic times

This is situated in most popular road to kandy to colombo and kandy to Nuwaraeliya road. Can have a nice view of Mahaveli river from here
