Peradeniya Botanical Gardens is a lush parkland established by the British colonists. The place is a botanical fantasy island and boasts a variety of shrubs, creepers, trees, and flowering blooms. You will love the enchanting surroundings, the expansive grounds and the Mahaweli River, which flows at the bottom of the gardens. The Mahaweli is the largest river in Sri Lanka and sure is a resplendent sight to see inside the gardens. To enjoy more of nature in Kandy, you can look for a Kandy 5-star hotel located on the outskirts of the city such as the Earl's Regency Kandy. Such places offer classic accommodation options as well as a chance to enjoy typical Sri Lankan hospitality.
