3. These stunning gardens were once reserved exclusively for Kandyan royalty. Today, even commoners are allowed to enjoy the most impressive and largest (60 hectares) botanic gardens in Sri Lanka. Highlights include a fine collection of orchids, a stately avenue of royal palms, the extraordinary, aptly named cannonball fruit tree, and 40m-high Burma bamboo. Another big hit is the giant Javan fig tree on the great lawn, with its colossal central trunk and umbrella-like canopy of branches. Peradeniya is 6km from central Kandy.

About Anuradhapura

Anuradhapura, in Sri Lanka's dry north-central plain, is an ancient capital of vast white stupas, ruined palaces and a sacred fig tree.

Anuradhapura was the capital of Sri Lanka's first great kingdom for well over a thousand years, from around the fourth century BC, and is now one of the island's most sacred cities. Its ruins, listed by UNESCO, spread across a wide plain of reservoirs and woodland. The Sri Maha Bodhi, a fig tree grown from a cutting of the tree under which the Buddha is said to have found enlightenment, is the most venerated site, and pilgrims in white bring flowers.
