Bo Göran,

Peradeniya is vast. All 208 Palmtalk members of Biennial could enter at the same time!

But there are other visitors, local people like young couple prefer shady quite places.....

Philippe,

That's really nice to see! :) Reminds me of Singapore Botanic Garden which is a popular place for families, especially on the weekends.

Hi Thabit,

Nice to see you on Palmtalk,

Your pictures are fantastic and different with mine ( different angles I didn't know.)

Anyway we'll go again there next time.

If you can, check my other posts since I can't identify the palms (Police station palm, mountain palms....).

Regards,

Philippe

Is it still raining in Ceylon?

I can really recommend a visit. I took a taxi up from Columbo, to see Paradeniya and Kandy. Its a great day out. Yes its vast. I could not see it all.... it would take about 2 days. Yes when I was there there were lots of people there and I also managed to take lots of photos without anyone in them. !

Kandy is a lovely place, where to stay longer or go many times.

Here photos of view from Lankatilaka temple, garden of CastleHill Guesthouse, and Peradeniya garden
