The Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya spread across a river-bound landscape just outside Kandy. Palms, flowering trees, giant tropical specimens and the orchid collection make it one of the island’s most rewarding garden walks.

The visit can be paced gently, with shaded paths and time for photography before beginning the return journey.
