斯里兰卡最宏伟的花园之一，背靠高海拔的 Hakgala 岩石，以玫瑰和兰花而闻名。

概述

Hakgala 是斯里兰卡第二大植物园，据说是世界上海拔最高的植物园之一，位于高耸的 Hakgala 岩石下方的斜坡上。它以其玫瑰园、兰花屋、蕨类植物、药用植物和在山间空气中茁壮成长的凉爽气候物种而闻名。阴凉的小路蜿蜒穿过温带树木、草坪和温室。

历史

The garden was established in 1861, originally as an experimental plantation for cinchona (the source of quinine) and later tea, before being developed as an ornamental and scientific botanical garden. In Ramayana legend the surrounding hills are linked to Hanuman, who is said to have brought a mountain of healing herbs to the area.
