Tour to Seethawaka Botanical Garden by Car or Tuk
Overview of the tour in Colombo
This 42-hectare garden used to be a former rubber and tea plantation but has now been transformed into a research and conservation area for wet zone flora in Sri Lanka. Here, you can marvel at gorgeous trees and flowers across the rose, medicinal and spice gardens and paddle out on the beautiful lake on a swan boat. You can also walk uphill to the viewpoint, where you can get stunning views of the garden and the surrounding valley. Located less than 30 miles from Colombo, the garden is a great spot for a half-day tour from the Sri Lankan capital.
Seethawaka Wet Zone Botanic Gardens, Thummodera - Puwakpitiya Road, Avissawella 10700 Sri Lanka is a botanical garden located in Sri Lanka that mainly serves as a research area and a conservation area for threatened and vulnerable endemic plant species in the Sinharaja Rain Forest region.
