Leave the bustle of Colombo behind and journey into Sri Lanka’s cool central highlands, where winding mountain roads reveal rolling tea plantations, misty hills and cascading waterfalls. Your private day trip to Nuwara Eliya, often called Little England, combines the island’s celebrated tea heritage with gardens, lakeside scenery and the charm of its colonial-era town.
En route, visit a tea plantation and factory to discover the traditions behind Sri Lanka’s world-famous Ceylon tea. Continue to Lake Gregory, a scenic spot to appreciate the highland atmosphere, before exploring Hakgala Botanical Garden, known for its landscaped grounds and diverse plant life. Your journey also takes in Ramboda Falls, where water descends through the lush mountain landscape, providing a memorable opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the hill country.
Travel comfortably with a professional English-speaking chauffeur-guide, with hotel pick-up and drop-off in Colombo. Water and a king coconut are included for refreshment during the day
