About this experience

Udawatta Kele forest reserve

Once a pleasure garden for Kandyan kings, this 100-hectare urban forest is criss-crossed with shady walking trails and inhabited by purple-faced langurs, giant squirrels and dozens of bird species. The 'Lover's Walk' loops past hidden meditation caves.
