Udawatta Kele Sanctuary, Kandy, Sri Lanka
Just a 15 minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Kandy, situated behind the Sacred Tooth Buddhist temple is the most tranquil and serene place you could ever imagine. As soon as you head through the gate you are transported into a fern gully, fairy land, pandora of 1000 shades of green! The overhead canopy covers you in bliss as natures orchestra serenades you with her endless symphony. It is exactly what you need to chill out after the hectic streets of town, enjoy it to the fullest and watch out for the cheeky monkeys!
If anyone would love to help a budget traveller to continue flowing and making videos, and maybe even get a gimbal to make the videos really POP!!

Special Note for the Viewers:
I’ve done this video to make other human beings aware of the beauty of this place and please don’t misuse this information in order to ruin this place. I’ve spent so much of time/money bringing this to you so that you may enjoy it. However I’ve a very kind and humble request from you all.
Should you ever visit this place, you’re kindly requested to adhere to the following in order to save our Mother Nature (essentially Our Country) not only for the future generations but for the current one as well:
* Avoid careless/reckless/irresponsible/money-oriented/mega tour groups or organizers.
* Travel in smaller groups as Mother Nature can’t afford so many footprints at once.
* Minimize the use of polythene/plastic and do bring back if you have to take any with you.
* Don’t litter and even if it’ bio-degradable, please bring it back and dispose of the garbage properly and responsibly. Because no matter what it is, it will still be alien to that environment.
* Use reusable water bottles so that you don’t have to keep buying plastic ones. It’ll not only save you money but will help save nature massively.
* Remain quiet and vigilant. Don’t disturb the tranquility of the nature. Instead savor it.
* Try and bring if you spot any litter/garbage left behind by other careless travellers.
* Don’t light fires unnecessarily and do try to use portable cookers instead of using firewood when camping. The increase usage of firewood leads to more deforestation even at a smaller scale.
* Don’t bring any plants back with you or break any plants/branches unnecessarily.
* Don’t walk off the designated footpath.
* Don’t use soap/detergent/shampoo when bathing in natural streams as they’d only lead to the contamination of those pure water sources and elimination of wildlife species.
* Don’t do anything that harms the Mother Nature.

Macaca sinica curious behavior (Udawattakele, Kandy, Sri Lanka)
I walked uphill to the forest reserve Udawattakele Sanctuary (Kandy City, Sri Lanka), 104 hectares of protected altitude tropical rainforest. I hiked one of the park trails hoping to see (from some distance) one of the deadliest snakes of Sri Lanka, which is one of the most favorable countries for this purpose. But what I found instead was a bunch of about 10 toque macaques (Macaca sinica), endemic to Sri Lanka and endangered. Curious, they carefully approached me. I recorded a video to show the brief but pleasant experience of the contact with these intelligent animals. More on

UDAWATHTHA FOREST | Vlog 05| Travel with GaI |Frame Art|
Udawatta Kele Sanctuary or the Royal Forest Park of Kandy is siuated on the hillside behind the Dalada Maligawa or the Temple of the Tooth Relic. This forest extents about 257 acres and is considered to be a vital Bio reserve for the much populated Kandy City. Centuries back, area surrounding Kandy had been a Rain Forest and the human settlements took place during the era of King Panditha Parakramabahu (1302-1326 AD) and in 1371 AD, King Wickramabahu made Kandy his Kingdom. During this era Kandy was called as Senkadagala. This name came into being due to a Brahmin named Senkanda, who lived in a cave at Udawattakele during that era. During the Kandyan Kingdom, this forest area behind the palace was called Uda wasala watta or the 'Upper Palace Garden' frequented by the royalty and was out of bound to the people. Since the downfall of the Kandyan Kingdom in 1815, this forest area started to loose it's pristine condition due to wood cutting etc.
The condition of the forest deteriorated due to human activities and in 1856, the Government declared it as a Forest Reserve and later in 1938, it was made a sanctuary. The Kandy Lake gets it's water resourses mainly from this forest's catchment areas. This precious forest area supplies the much needed air purification activity to the Kandy city which is enclaved by several hills.
The forest is rich with vegetation consisting with canopy, sub canopy and an underground layer. The dense plant life restricts sunlight reaching the ground soil surface. The underground layer mostly consists of the seedlings of the canopy layer species and creepers that reaches to the top of caopy layer trees. There is a giant 200 to 300 years old Pus Wela or 'Entada pusaetha' liana in the forest.
The important places in Udawatta Kele are the The water Pond, Highest peak Kodimale, The Senkanda Cave, and the Garrison cemetery. There are also several Buddhist temples and hermitages inside the forest reserve.
Some of the Tree species found in the forest are 'Acronychia pedunculata' (Ankenda) ,Adenanthera pavonina (Madatiya), Aleurites moluccana (Tel kekuna), Antidesma bunius (Karawala Kebella).
