A true forest escape in the middle of Kandy! 🌳🌿
Udawatta Kele Sanctuary is a historic national forest reserve that gives you an authentic forest vibe — tall trees, thick greenery, and the sounds of nature all around. Just minutes away from the Temple of the Tooth, yet it feels like you’ve stepped deep into the wilderness.
Tickets are very affordable (Rs. 75 for locals) and Rs. 930 for foreigners. The walking trails are shaded and peaceful, with plenty of birds, monkeys, and plants to see. It’s best to visit in the morning or evening for cooler weather. Carry water and wear comfy shoes since some paths are uphill.
If you’re a couple, a family, or simply someone who loves nature, this sanctuary is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with the forest atmosphere. A must-visit in Kandy! 🍃✨
