The avenues of palm trees are spectacular and the fernery such a lovely, shady place to escape the heat. Our favourite part by far are the trees the fruit bats call home; listen, and look up – you'll ear them chattering, and see them hanging upside down with their furry bodies turned to the sun, every so often you'll see one or two stretch their wings, or even fly from one roost to another. These bats, unlike most bats, fly by sight not radar – something I didn't know until I visited this most beautiful park. #localsecrets](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/178045/b7f13d4d-9502-4760-901a-fe2216f534e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Royal Botanical Garden 5/5(9 reviews) Explore the great outdoors at Royal Botanical Garden, a lovely green space in Peradeniya.
