This forest on the north side of Kandy Lake has soaring hardwood trees and giant bamboo, good birding and loads of cheeky monkeys. There are two main paths you can follow: one of around 1.5km and the other of 5km.
Be careful if you’re visiting alone. Muggers are rare, but not unknown; solo women should take extra care.
Enter by turning right after the post office on DS Senanayake Vidiya. Last tickets issued at 5pm.
