How do I travel from Kandy city centre to Peradeniya Botanical Garden?

You can travel fairly easily from Kandy city centre to the Peradeniya Botanical Garden by hopping on any public bus that is heading towards Colombo, Kadugannawa, or Pilimathalawa from the Kandy Clock Tower bus stand.

The bus ride takes around 20 to 30 minutes, though traffic can nudge it a bit longer, and the fare is under 100 LKR. If you prefer a more private, swifter choice, a tuk-tuk from the Temple of the Tooth area all the way to the garden’s main gates will cost roughly 1,000 to 1,500 LKR.
