2. Its origins go back to the reign of King Kirthi Sri Rajasinha (1747-1780) when it was his royal residential compound and park. It formally became a botanical garden in 1821 when the redoubtable Sir Edward Barnes was Governor of Ceylon. The garden covers over 150 acres of floral delight, including a spectacular arboretum, over 100 endemic plants, a fantastic collections of palms, bamboo, cacti, flowers and orchids in a delightful ‘orchid house’. The Herbarium consists of over 200,000 dried and preserved plant specimens, collected over a span of over 180 years. The two highlights of the Garden would arguably be the orchid house and a ‘stately’ avenue of royal palms. Another favorite is the giant Javan fig tree, situated on the great lawn – a living geodesic dome.

About Kandy

Kandy is the hill-country city of Sri Lanka, home to the Temple of the Tooth, a tree-fringed lake and a botanical garden among tea-covered hills.

Kandy was the last capital of the Sinhalese kings until the British took it in 1815. It stands around an artificial lake, about 500 metres above sea level, in the Central Highlands. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, a UNESCO site, holds a relic said to be a tooth of the Buddha, and pilgrims bring lotus flowers each day. Drummers and dancers perform at the shrine's rituals.
