Destinations
Highland Landscapes
Cool air. Misty ridges. The island’s most beautiful interior.
Tea estates, colonial hill stations, and the rail line that winds through them. For many travellers, this is the part of Sri Lanka that stays.
Nuwara Eliya
A hill station at 1,868 metres with Victorian hotels, a golf course, and immaculate tea in every direction.
Horton Plains
A 2,100-metre plateau of grassland and cloud forest. World’s End drops nearly 900 metres to the southern plains — go before the mist.
Haputale
A narrow ridge with views across half the island, and Lipton’s Seat looking over the estates that made Ceylon tea famous.
Hatton & Tea Country
Working estates from valley floor to ridgeline. Planter-led tastings and some of the island’s finest plantation stays.
