Green thumbs will love exploring the perfectly manicured grounds of Royal Botanical Garden. Admire the wide range of plants, see if you can spot some birds or simply take off your shoes and enjoy the grass between your toes.

You'll find this showcase of plants in Kandy. Once you've seen everything you want to at Royal Botanical Garden, take a look at nearby Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, and Dhamma Kuta Vipassana Meditation Centre.

Bahirawakanda Vihara Buddha
The Kandy Clock Tower is located in the centre of Kandy on the intersections of Sri Dalada Veediya, S. W. R. D. Bandaranaike Mawatha and Hiragedara Mawatha. A landmark of the city, the clock tower was built near to the Ismail Building in 1950 by Haji Mohamed Ismail as a monument and in memory of his son Mohamed Zacky Ismail, who lost his life in an accident in Kadugannawa in August, 1947. It was designed by Shirley de Alwis, one of Sri Lanka's leading architects at the time. De Alwis was the local resident architect working with Sir Patrick Abercrombie on design of the University of Peradeniya campus. #mattravel #srilanka #nationalpark #UNESCO #worldheritage #sinhalafestival
