Botanical Gardens Hakgala

Sri Lanka has five botanical gardens, Royal Botanic Gardens, Hakkala Botanic Gardens, Henarasgoda Botanical Gardens, Millijawilla Botanical Gardens, and Theta Waters Botanic Gardens. Hakkala Garden is the second largest garden in Sri Lanka.

The legendary Indian folklore "Romayanina" stated that Rama's wife Shita was kidnapped and imprisoned in the region of Lavana's devil king who dominated Sri Lanka.

Hakgala Garden should be an amusement park for King of Devils to give Sita an attempt to ease sorrow.

7. It seems to prove that the legend has become a reality, its surrounding area is called Sita Eliya and there is the goddess Sita Temple in the premises.

Hakkala Botanical Garden is one of three botanical gardens in Sri Lanka. The other two are Peradeniya Botanic Gardens and Henarathgoda Botanical Gardens. It is the second largest garden in Sri Lanka. The garden is adjacent to Hakgala Strict Nature Reserve in Nuwara Eliya. This garden is regarded as the highest botanical garden in the world. Hakkala Gardens is open daily from 00 am to 30 pm. The botanical garden is closed at 00 PM. Wheelchairs can be borrowed by nominal rent. Visitors are encouraged to explore the Hakkala Gardens if you want to explore many beautiful places in this very compact garden while allowing minicars to enter the garden.

Hakkala Botanical Garden was established in 1861 to conduct experiments in Sri Lanka and promote Cinchona cultivation. The garden on the hills of Sri Lankan Tea Garden in Nuwara Eliya District is located in Badulla Road, 5 km southeast of Nuwara Eliya, a popular resort. The Hakkala Botanical Garden is at a height of 1745 meters above sea level and is about 28 hectares in area and is behind the Hakkala Rock ("Ziyan Rock"). This huge rock is about 2,200 meters behind the garden and the surrounding forest reserve is like a lonely giant.

I like to visit Hakkala Botanic Gardens! It took about 2 hours to explore the various places in the garden. There are several wonderful trees and plants from all over the world, and the fern garden is wonderful. There were very few tourists on the day we were there, and it felt like we were around us in this beautiful garden. Many birds, we even saw a big black snake sleeping on the lawn! Some of the nearby hill views are wonderful. You feel you are at the top of the world! Nuwara Eliya Road has a bright and colorful Hindu temple and it is worth seeing.
