Home to a magnificent golden statue of Buddha, the park is also notable for palm trees, a mini zoo, and clean walking paths.

Having gone through recent renovation work, the park has clean walkways, playgrounds, and comfy benches, and visited by plenty of urbanites every day.

Besides the statue of Lord Buddha, the park features a series of water fountains, mini zoo, and many more things. There is no Viharamahadevi Park tickets as it's a public park.

Ayush Malhotra

New delhi

Ayush's 6 days trip to Colombo

It was a great trip in case of hotels and cab and from travel agent side, but the many attractions are just private things and charge very high. you can choose to visit them or you can opt out. Travel agency guy will take you to the all the expensive attraction which sometimes are not worth, so you

can simply deny. Sri lanka is very beautiful and hotels were also good.

Yashwanth

Chennai

Yashwanth's 5 days trip to Colombo

Overall, the trip was satisfactory. We were travelling with a 1.5 year old kid and obviously it was tough and felt we were always on the road. Pros: The guide Charitha has good knowledge of all the places and took care of us well. Would use his service again. Value for money package Cons: Overall

better planning could have been done by Miss Roshell, especially between Nuwara eliya and bentota stretch - on the road for 7 hours, exhausting. Communication with Mr Charitha could have been better meaning he was bit pushy about taking us to every place on the itinerary inspite of us insisting that we did not want to go to all the places because of the baby.
