Suspension bridge in Peradeniya gardens, is it safe.
2 Answers from travellers
The famous suspension bridge in the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens is perfectly safe, but it is very old and swings significantly when you walk across it, which adds to the fun.
Park authorities strictly limit the number of people allowed on the bridge at one time to ensure absolute safety. You might have to wait a few minutes in a queue during busy weekends before crossing the beautiful Mahaweli River.

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).
