Descripción
El Jardín Botánico Haggala se fundó en 1861 para experimentar y mejorar el cultivo de quina en Sri Lanka. Los campos, ubicados en la zona montañosa entre las plantaciones de té de Sri Lanka, en el distrito de Nuwara Eliya, se encuentran a lo largo de la carretera Badulla, a 9,5 km al sureste de Nuwara Eliya.
Abode at an elevation of about 1745 m above means sea level; Hakgala Botanic Gardens, about 28 hectares in area, lie under the darkness of the Hakgala Rock. This large rock towers to a height of about 2,200m behind the gardens and the neighbouring forest reserve like a lonely giant. The gardens take the shape of several platforms upon the lower slopes of the rock and meet the Uva Valley, across which some majestic views of the Madulsima and the Namunukula range of hills are seen in the different landscapes. The environment of the Gardens is subtropical, cool, fresh, and slightly similar to an alpine environment. The temperature changes from 3°C to 15° C. The lowest reported was 3° C. The gardens receive rainfall from two monsoons. In the South West from May to August and the North East from October to December, the yearly average rainfall is about 2300 mm.
