Udawattekele is a bird’s paradise near Kandy!

This is possibly the easiest sanctuary to reach as it just off the limits of Kandy atop a hill. You might be surprised by such a change from the bustle of Kandy in just a few minutes of travel time. Kids love its lush grounds full of common and not-so-common birds in this tropical paradise. The signposts ensure that you’re never lost and the entrance fee is quite low (under $5 during our visit).
