... Nice view of the Cactus house🌵 that exhibit over 800 species including Agaves, Opuntia, Kalachoe, Cereus, Rebutia, Rhipsalis... Hakgala Botanical Garden is one of the five botanical gardens in Sri Lanka... the garden is at an altitude of around 1700 metres, and features a lot of temperate plants and trees... a network of small creeks, complete with wooden bridges, is seen throughout the garden, creating a magical atmosphere... Thanks a lot Ravindra!【ツ】So nice to hear from you😊... Wishing you also a happy and healthy 2022!🎇🤩🎆.

Hakgala Botanical Gardens is located within the Hakgala Strict Natural Reserve.
The Gardens (27ha) were established in 1860 as an experimental Cinchona plantation from which the anti-malarial drug quinine is derived. Subsequently the gardens were used for experiments in acclimatizing temperate-zone plants to life in tropics.
