    The park was declared to conserve the montane ecosystems. Field Ornithology Group of Sri Lanka considers that the Victoria park of Nuwara Eliya and the Galway's Land as two of the most significant birding sites in Sri Lanka. Galway's Land harbours about 20 rare migrant bird species and 30 native species. Apart from the avifauna, the park has valuable floral species of both native and foreign origin. Galway Forest Lodge is located close to the park.

    Great Place for short trip in the wilderness. This was the royal forest park for the king Currently a forest sanctuary. There is an information center located inside the forest. There's a entrance fee that has to be paid at the gate. internal walkways are well marked and named.

    This place is a forest, public can access after obtaining a ticket at the entrance. Concrete walking path is available and must use it. About 4km to walk. All around forest and several birds can be seen.

    May be the only National park in the midst of a city. Calm and quite walking pathways lead you to explore the tranquility of the forest reserve with a sizable amount of flaura and fauna

    Beautiful place..Gives you a feel of jungle trail. There are two trails the one I took covered 800+1000mts in total. It's a worthwhile time here. If you're lucky and patient enough, you'll see birds too. I spent 2 hours here. Tickets cost around 3450 for two. Do bring in your camera and click your time away.

    A small forest. 2.5 km can be used to walk through the forest path. Mornings and evenings is best for animals to watch.

    Not recommended If you need to just walk through some big trees, then this place is ok.. But there is not even a single bird 🐦 to see..

    One of the best place for nature lovers and wildlife photography. 2.8KMs concrete path through Park. Hard to find birds evening time. It's very dark inside the park (some areas) Recommended to visit sunny days. Good place visit with kids. Around 2-3 Celsius drop inside the park. Get a ticket to enter the park.

    Quiet, isolated place which is ideal for some bird watching. You might run into one or two wild animals (like boars) too.
