Why we love it
Tea Trails is the world’s first tea bungalow resort, perched at an altitude of 1250 metres in Sri Lanka’s panoramic Ceylon tea region, bordering the World Heritage Central Highlands. This award-winning boutique resort is made up of five restored colonial-era tea planters’ bungalows, offering period furnishings, attentive butler service and gourmet cuisine.
Bungalows are connected by walking trails through scenic Ceylon tea gardens and each one has a unique style ranging from neo-colonial to classic English. Within the bungalows there are between 4 to 6 rooms; Master Suites with a separate living room, Garden Suites with verandahs to private gardens
and Luxury Rooms of great character. There is also a secluded Owner’s Cottage for a complete tea plantation immersion.
This is the ideal setting for trekking and biking against the breathtaking backdrop of mountains, lakes, winding roads and waterfalls. If you prefer to unwind, observe life on a working tea estate while being pampered by your butler, enjoy a spa treatment, croquet on the lawn or sunbathe alongside the pool. Or explore the lush tea fields and visit a century old factory for an education in the art of Ceylon Tea.
Enjoy a curated four course picnic lunch on the hillside above Dunkeld Bungalow, flanked by tea fields and jungle with views of jagged mountaintops.
Set off down the Kelani River over seven class III rapids, for an exhilarating rafting experience.
Enjoy a guided tour of the Dunkeld Tea Factory by Ceylon's resident tea planter, and delve into its history, science and flavours.
Take a refreshing dip in Ceylon's swimming pools overlooking a vista of tea carpeted mountains, or pick from one of the bubbling jacuzzis.
Grab a racket and enjoy an afternoon game of tennis at Tientsin bungalow's clay court.

We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
