  This is the only Forest in Sri Lanka, controlled by Municipal Council. This forest belongs to the Kandy Municipal Council. It’s not open to the Public. You need to get special permission from the KMC to enter this premises. It’s a beautiful place. Situated in the top of the Waakarewatta area, in the Middle of the Kandy City. This forest houses to the very large varieties of the trees. Some of them indigenes to Sri Lanka. Also there’s a huge Tank in the middle of the forest. It supplies the Drinking water to some part of the Kandy City. Overall this place is a National treasure. KMC taking good care of it.

  It is actually a hidden gem. Its belongs to Kandy municipal council.It was a reserve forest from kings era.But English men removed tha tree cover from that land and make that land as a Coco & Cofee plantation.
  But after few years they had to face a water problem for kandy town.
  
  Then in 1910 they build two reservoirs in this land and make it as a rain forest again.Now we are seeing that replanted forest.
  
  We have to get permission from kandy municipal council to visit this forest.

  ඉතාමත් අලංකාර වනාන්තරයකි. විශාල භූමිභාගයක පිහිටා ඇත.

  A Hidden Gem. Owned by the Kandy Municipality. They have around 1700 acres of Virgin Jungle. Built by the Britishers as a water catchment area to cater to the needs of the Kandy town. Leopards could be seen. Can go in with permission for a nature Walk.
