The famous giant bamboo collection is located right along the banks of the Mahaweli River, which forms the eastern boundary of the Peradeniya gardens. It is a stunning, highly photogenic spot.
Some of the bamboo stalks grow up to 40 meters tall and expand by nearly 30 centimeters a day during the rainy season. It is an absolute must see for nature lovers.
As you enter the main gate, grab a free printed map. Follow the central path past the great lawn, and you will easily find the towering bamboo groves bending majestically over the water.

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.
Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
