Tour | Peradeniya University Walk
Established in 1942 as University of Ceylon; University of Peradeniya moved to its present location, the scenic banks of Mahaweli River in 1952. Termed as one of the most beautiful universities in the world, University of Peradeniya spans over 830 hectares of land and is ranked amongst the best educational institutions in the world.
The university site is hemmed by Sri Lanka’s longest river ‘Mahaweli’ and the ever resplendent Hantana hills, ready to bewitch anyone who crosses paths with her. Stroll along with our resident guide through one of the most glamorous places you could encounter in Kandy.
The mesmeric sites are an intermingling of yesteryears and today. Peculiarly the Eurocentric colonial designs blending in with the Kandyan architecture conceives a rare and a unique air of grandeur to the superstructures. Add blue mountains and flourishing greenery into the backdrop, and you are surrounded with an abundance of picture worthy whiles to take home with you.
The foliage ranges from ferns to gargantuan trees that not only bears flowers but creates heavenly arbours you can walk on forever. The luxuriant foliage, rays of sun seeping through them, melodious birdsong and the glistening waterways create a mesmerising recipe of aesthetic magnificence.
Wander along immersing in the splendiferous beauty and dig deeper into the historical, cultural, and the educational significance of this breathtakingly handsome academe, flawlessly oscillating between then and now.
