About Peradeniya

Peradeniya is synonymous with the Royal Botanical Gardens, a 147-acre paradise of tropical plants, orchids, and giant bamboo. The University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka's largest, brings academic energy to this green suburb west of Kandy. The area sits in the scenic Mahaweli River valley, offering cooler temperatures and lush green landscapes. Property is more affordable than Kandy city centre, with steady demand from university staff and students.
