Sri Lanka's largest botanical garden — best visited in the morning before tour buses arrive, with the orchid greenhouse and 200-year-old Javan fig as the two reasons to actually go.

A sprawling botanical garden established in 1821, located just outside Kandy. It features over 4,000 species of plants, including a notable collection of orchids and a giant Javan fig tree.
