Isiresa Spice Garden is a spice garden in Habarana, in Polonnaruwa District, listed on Sri Lanka Tourism's register of spice gardens. The last tourism licence on the register ran to 31 December 2018 and has not been renewed there.
What is a visit to Isiresa Spice Garden like?
The few registered spice gardens around Dambulla and Habarana sit on the roads to Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle, so most visitors stop at one between sights. A visit is usually a guided walk past the main spice plants, cinnamon, pepper, cardamom and cloves among them, followed by the garden's shop. Allow about 45 minutes.
Like most spice gardens, they generally do not charge for the walk and rely on what the shop sells. There is no obligation to buy.
