We popped in during the day to see the house that Geoffery Bawa designed (pretty cool) and to see a 400+ year old ebony tree. Then learned about the night safari led by the facility coordinator and costing much less than the ones offered by the hotels. We came back that night and walked the arboretum in a small group, silently discovering lots of animals including a tiny mouse deer and a loris. Overall we had a really pleasant experience here. Highly recommended for folks who want to learn about the native flora and fauna.

Didn’t have an opportunity to visit at night. So that tour might be much interesting. Foods are delivered by a nearby house which is really delicious.

This is an excellent government-run small reserve with local guides, one of whom had worked on the project since inception in the 80s. Our homestay host found it for us as a MUCH cheaper and more ethical alternative to the hotel-run loris night trails, and it was well worth the time.
We arrived later than the 6:30om start, so they charged us only 2500 rupees each compared to $40 at the hotel. Normally we were told it costs 4000 rupees each and lasts for a few hours. We saw many slow lorises, bats and mouse deer and normally they are able to see pangolins too.
The money is reinvested in the conservation project and this felt so much more worthwhile than a weirdly inflated hotel tour.
And if you see no wildlife, which is basically impossible, the walk round the reserve by torchlight is extremely beautiful and calming, with some lovely star-gazing and wildlife sounds. Highly recommend.

A friend recommended this beautiful hidden jungle-garden. We walked there for more than an hour and saw so many different trees and bird. For architects it‘s very nice to see the main building by the famous Geoffrey Bawa.

Well the daytime walk for us was worth the Rs 1000 (USD5), but as we're not naturalists and more used to botanical gardens it was on the edge. By being deliberately as natural and basic as possible, with just pathways cut (with signage) and only some main trees near the entrance having nameplates, it's a heaven for naturalists. Not too much interesting for normal tourists.
As the paths are a bit rough (esp. the crossings of the small stream) and not easy to walk even by daytime, and we don't own cameras with good night shots, we skipped the option of an evening tour for Loris and Pangolin.

We visited the reserve for an evening walk to find loris. The guide firstly told us how the park was developed, very informative, then we set off to find the loris with 2 guides. On route we managed to see a snake, deer and eventually loris, how the guide spotted the little creature is incredible, years of experience I guess. This was a different adventure but well worth it.
Definitely recommend this place

We loved our visit to Popham's arboretum! We arrived in the late afternoon and explored the arboretum during daytime (we saw some giant squirrel, monitor lizard and birds) and did an evening safari after. The park is really beautiful, informative and easy to walk. Mr Poorna and Mr Chanaka were really passionate and helped us spot four loris and a mouse deer. We're happy we went here during our stay in Dambulla/Sigiriya.

This is a must-visit place around Dambulla for nature lovers. Many different animals inside a relatively small space. However, the yellow route we took, took around 1hour to walk. There are many places around to snap a nice photo. The caretaker is very informative. You can give a donation of your choice to help maintain the place

Неплохое место, есть специально разработанные маршруты для пеших прогулок. Специально, конечно, сюда ехать не стоит, но если рядом, то можно сходить.

After being asked for a 1000 LKR donation per person we decided to skip the arboretum. They called it a donation, but when it is mandatory it should be called an entrance ticket, there is no voluntary element. The park looked nice, but paying $20 for a 2-hour walk in the forest is too much.
I'm all in for supporting nice causes with a donation, but this is not the way to ask for money. Donation is voluntary, the amount decided by the person giving the money. Demanding a fixed price for something cannot be called a donation.

My wife cannot walk far - if we went together is there somewhere pleasant she could wait while I did one of the trails?
Yazıldığı tarih: 7 Şubat 2017
Yes there is! :) There are two such places I can think of. One is the reception cum office area where there is plenty of reading material. The curator, Mr Amarasinghe will be more than happy to show her albums of the place which relate how the Arboretum came to be. There are a few benches which happen to be under the shade of trees outside the office. Your wife has a choice of either sitting indoors or outdoors.

Hi there, I will be passing by this area, just wondering how do I sign up for the tours where I might be able to spot slow loris? Thanks!

There is no set time for tours. During daytime you can come anytime and walk in the arboretum. The night tour is best anytime after 7pm. Please call the curator on +94 777 267 951 and make a reservation prior to coming.
