Udawattekele Sanctuary


It only takes about 15 minutes to reach the gate entrance of Udawattakele from the Municipal junction in Kandy. You can find the place without a hassle. 

There are plenty of trails that you can take once you enter the park which can be found on the map. The best time to visit the place is in the morning around 07.00 am. So that you may be able to witness more fauna than in the afternoon. If you are lucky, you may witness Endemic animals like toque macaque, jackal, porcupine and, mouse deer. Obviously, 460 species of plants, especially lianas, shrubs, herbs and, small plants are survived in the jungle. 

There are 03 Buddhist temples are situated in this sanctuary namely they are Forest Hermitage, Senanayakaramaya and Tapovanaya. This is a good place to do meditation as well. If you want to ease your mind this would be an ideal place. If so, you must visit this reserve in the morning as it gets crowded in the afternoon. 

It is a must to visit the sanctuary if you are in Kandy. All in all, we have to safeguard this wonderful nature reserve. Please do not throw trash into the wilderness.
