The 257-acre Udawatta Kele Forest Reserve is still sometimes referred to by its ancient name, the Thahanci Kele, or ‘forbidden forest’; once a private reserve of the Kandyan royal family, and closed to commoners. Incredibly located within walking distance of the city center, the Udawatta Kele of today provides visitors a chance to walk or cycle along narrow paths through dense highland rain forest.Shot on assignment for Ashraff Associatesand The Radh, Kandy, in October 2018.
