Kandy Garrison Cemetery
Stroll through Kandy Garrison Cemetery for a unique perspective on early colonial life in Sri Lanka. The cemetery houses British nationals from the early colonial period, where tombstones reveal the various struggles of those times. Many perished from tropical diseases, but you'll also happen across more exotic causes of demise, including elephant trampling. A single caretaker painstakingly maintains the grounds, and is more than happy to offer an informative tour. Use Inspirock's suggestions to plan your Kandy trip and find the best activities and attractions for your vacation.

Absolutely fascinating place, throwing you back to 19th century. Cemetery keeper is extremely nice guy who can tell a bunch of interesting stories. You have to consider visiting a little museum at keeper’s house as well

Definitely a must-stop on your Kandy trip. It was interesting to hear the stories from the Cemetery keeper and imagine about the past.
