A first look
Hakgala Botanical Garden in Nuwara Eliya is a stop guests add when they build a trip around a named house. SoloRoost lists it because it is on the map, not because we run a ticket booth here.

The other four are Peradeniya Botanical Garden, Henarathgoda Botanical Garden, Mirijjawila Botanical Garden and Seetawaka Botanical Garden. It is the second largest botanical garden in Sri Lanka.
