Being a rich country of natural biodiversity, Sri Lanka elaborates and proves it many times. Udawatte Kele located north of Kandy Lake is an eco-tourism site that expands over 103 hectares. 

The park was once a forbidden forest called Uda masala watte (the garden above the royal palace) during the Kandyan kingdom. 

Visitors can tour the sanctuary every day from 6 am to 5 pm. Though the entire garden was declared as a forest reserve in 1856 and upgraded as a sanctuary in 1938. 

This garden has an exclusive collection of avifauna. Other than that it is one of the beautiful bird sanctuaries in Sri Lanka. Udawatte Kele is on a hill ridge stretching between the Temple of the Tooth and the Uplands- Aruppola suburbs. 

The highest point of the ridge is 635 meters above sea level and 115 meters above the nearby Kandy Lake.

Best time to visit

Kandy is rewarding year-round, but spring and early autumn typically bring the most comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds than peak summer. Morning departures tend to be quieter and cooler; booking ahead is recommended in high season as popular bus & minivan tours slots in Kandy sell out.
