How to Reach Hakgala Botanical Garden in Nuwara Eliya

If you are planning to visit here, then knowing how to reach Hakgala Botanical Garden will make your travel comfortable and hassle-free. One can reach Nuwara Eliya either by air, road or rail and from there a local auto rickshaw or bus will be a good option. Nuwara Eliya is known as the ‘Little England’ and is well-connected to the capital city, Colombo. The best way to reach Nuwara Eliya is by boarding a flight from Colombo to Bandaranaike International Airport and then take a cab to this highland paradise.

If you are planning to go to Nuwara Eliya by train, then get down at Nanu Oya railway station which is nearly 10 km from Nuwara Eliya. The road en route is via Kandy and Hatton, however, the conditions of these roads are not very good and might spoil the excitement of your journey. After reaching Nuwara Eliya, one can take an auto rickshaw, cab or even rent a bicycle to this Nuwara Eliya Botanical Garden.

By Air:

If you are boarding a plane from Colombo to Bandaranaike International Airport which is the nearest airport to Hakgala Botanical Garden, your travel time will be 3h 30m, including the flight journey of 1h 20m. One can take a taxi to the botanical garden which will take nearly 2 hours.

By Rail:

If you are taking a train from Colombo, then the travel time will be nearly 7h 15m. You will be reaching Nanu Oya in 6h 20m from where you can reach the botanical garden in the next 50-55 minutes via auto rickshaw or taxi.

By Road:

Your road journey depends on the destination from where you are heading for this garden. However, an excursion to Hakgala Botanical Garden via road might be a little tiring if you are traveling with kids and elderly people.

      Ashish's 8 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

      Had a great experience touring Sri Lanka thanks to Madhu for managing this well. And Roshan for driving us around. There were some confusion about the final payment in cash vs. online hope they would have communicated well on this. Roshan managed our expectations well and ensured our needs are taken
      care.

      Nayanamallesh's 7 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

      Our itinerary was perfectly customized to our preferences, thanks to Mr. Suna who was always prompt, polite, and helpful in addressing all our queries. The hotels were clean and spacious, except for one in Bentota, which was a bit dirty and noisy. The highlight of our trip was our chauffeur, Mr. Su
      mith. As a group of three girls, we felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the 7-day journey. He wasn’t just a driver—he became a friend and guide, always ready to solve any problem and suggest the best places to visit (or skip). His kindness and friendly nature truly made our trip special. We left Sri Lanka with beautiful memories and heavy hearts—the hardest goodbye was definitely to Mr. Sumith. This trip was an unforgettable experience, and we’re so grateful for the amazing hospitality.

      Suna was very good and he answered all our questions with patience and even went out of the way to customize the package as per our requirements. Alika was also a very good driver and the vehicle was also very clean. The Ocean hotel in cmb was very good. Disappointed with the villa in Mirissa .No
      t upto the mark.. only pool and breakfast was good . Overall a very good trip made memorable by Suna and Akila. Best place was secret beach in Mirissa

      I recommend Travel Triangle for planning your trips. We recently travelled to Srilanka as family of 3 with a 2 years old toddler. TT assigned various local travel agents and I picked CNB Travel agency as they are good in listening my needs and customisation as per my need. Overall it was a comforta
      ble and relaxing trip.

      Subhojeet's 7 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

      We had taken a land package for our Srilanka vacation from Crimson voyages via Travel triangle. Nurshida from Crimsons voyages was our trip manager. I initially liked the swift and prompt communication with Crimsons which made me go ahead with their itinerary. We liked the way they greeted us at the
      airport. The hotels were also very good at all locations . However, the other experiences , could have been better. I am sharing few things which we didn't like about them. 1. The driver assigned to take us around was not even aware of the itinerary which was finalized with Crimson. Due to his lack of awareness, we missed our Colombo casino visit which was part of the package. I had to give him a copy of the itinerary separately to bring into his knowledge, what we were supposed to do. Till then he was simply blank. There seemed to be a huge communication gap within the team of Crimson. 2. A 7 GB SIM card was supposed to be provided to us as complimentary with the tour package. I had discussed the same with Nurshida before travel, however, after a lot of persuasions and follow ups, they gave me a used SIM with only 1.7GB data. The response from the backend team was very cold. Things could have been better. For every other thing they had an excuse that it is a New years’ time and shops are all closed ( in reality not all shops were closed and I had detail discussion prior to our travel). 3. Driver was not having any knowledge about the places. For every other thing which was promised to us, we had to keep following up with the driver or the tour manager. 4. The vehicle assigned to us was also not in good condition. Video system was not functional. Things did not look welcoming as initially we had hoped for. I hope Crimson voyages will take note of these feedbacks for their future clients. Thank you. Beach resort stay at Palms Bentota and stay at Araliya green city hotel.

      Neethu's 6 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

      I recently booked a 6-day, 5-night package to Sri Lanka with this agency, and while the duration was a bit rushed for exploring this beautiful country, the agency excelled in some areas. Their driver was exceptional - patient, kind, and caring. The agency also showed flexibility with last-minute cha
      nges and upgrades. However, there's room for improvement. It would be great if they could tailor recommendations based on individual preferences and suggest some offbeat locations. One area for growth is taking constructive feedback positively. After sharing some feedback, I felt it wasn't well-received, which limited further communication. Overall, I'd rate this experience 3.5 stars. With a few tweaks, this agency could truly shine!

      like to mention specifically , our driver Mr Anil was very friendly and helpful. He was very polite too and drove very smooth! His suggestions were very apt and helped in planning places better. He was kind to our kid and a good gentleman as well. Thanks steeple tours for organizing our trip well and helping us in getting queries resolved faster. Thanks Varsha Stay at the palms was very good.
