Tea Hills and Winding Trails
Bite-sized trip
Day 1 – Arrival in Nuwara Eliya
Sri Lanka is famous for its Ceylon tea, so on the way to Nuwara Eliya we’ll arrange for you to stop off at a local tea plantation. You’ll head straight into the fields with a local tea plucker and under her guidance, pick the tea yourself before enjoying a freshly brewed cup. Later in the day, you’ll arrive at your cosy, modern hotel in Nuwara Eliya, centrally located in town and with magnificent views of Mt Pidurutalagala, the highest peak in Sri Lanka.
Day 2 – Horton Plains, World’s End & departure
It’s an early rise today and after a refreshing cuppa, you’ll be given a breakfast pack before jumping into your jeep for a trip to Horton Plains National Park. After an hour’s scenic drive, you’ll reach the plateau and soon be on your way along the beautiful 3-4 hour circular walk, taking in the many the highlights of this World Heritage national park, from wild grasslands to thick forests.
Eventually, you will discover the highlight of this trip; World’s End. As the dusty trail reaches an opening, you’ll be met by views of a spectacular gorge and sheer cliff that will leave you feeling that the world has come to an end. It’s the perfect place to tuck into your picnic breakfast and soak up the views before the white mist rolls in.
When you’re ready, you’ll leave the hills behind and head back to Nuwara Eliya where you make your way on to your next destination. However, if you’d like to stay another night, just ask your travel specialist!
