The quiet pleasures of tea country
A slower approach to the Sri Lankan highlands.
Take the scenic route
The hill country invites you to slow down. Tea estates, small towns and viewpoints are best enjoyed when you have time for a stop.
Mix walking with resting
Choose walks suited to your fitness and the local conditions. A quiet afternoon can be as rewarding as an early start.
Pack for changing weather
Bring a light layer and rain protection. Comfortable shoes make it easier to enjoy uneven paths and damp ground.
These are general planning ideas. Confirm current travel conditions, availability and arrangements before your journey.
