One of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka is Peradeniya Gardens, a vast 147 acre natural extravaganza with more than 4000 different plant species and 10,000 different types of trees. It also happens to be the country's largest garden.
The Giant Bamboo of Burma, which can reach a height of 40 meters and grows 12 inches per day, is the most distinctive and uncommon collection in these gardens. The Javan fig tree, Cannonball tree, Double Coconut Palm, as well as about 200 other types of palm trees and a diverse collection of flora, are just a few of the other amazing collections.
One can bring food to enjoy a picnic outside or enjoy the cafeteria inside, which serves both local and international cuisine. One of the top weekend tourist destinations in the hill country is the Peradeniya Botanical Garden, which is consistently overrun with visitors.
