Review:
This expansive garden, located in the city of Kandy, features plants, trees, and flowers from all corners of the world, with collections of medicinal plants, plants that grow in specific environments, and even a hedge maze. The Royal Botanic Gardens are especially known for their collection of orchids, but visitors will also enjoy a walk through paths lined with swaying palms or a visit to the massive Javan fig tree, with a giant trunk and huge, ropelike branches, which extend above like an all-encompassing umbrella. The gardens are home not just to plants, but also to many species of birds, fruit bats, and monkeys.
