Originally established during the Kandyan Kingdom and later expanded by the British, the garden spreads over 147 acres and is home to more than 4,000 species of plants. As you explore at your own pace (no guiding inside the garden), you’ll discover a wide variety of tropical flora including vibrant orchids, towering palm avenues, medicinal plants, bamboo collections, and exotic flowering trees.

The garden is especially peaceful in the morning, offering cooler weather and fewer crowds—perfect for photography and relaxation. Highlights include the famous Royal Palm Avenue, the orchid house, and giant bamboo plants.
