Why we love it
A short walk through lush greenery and jungle flora leads to a scenic spot where two waterfalls open up into small ponds.
Traverse the mountains to reach Hatale Tea Factory. Watch how loose leaf tea is produced and exported. Learn about withering, rolling and fermenting before sampling a few different varieties.
Hike Corbett's Gap, one of the highest mountain passes in Sri Lanka. Spot several endangered species such as the western purple-faced langur, Horton Plains slender loris and Sri Lankan leopard.
Walk through a typical Sri Lankan village, past terraced paddy fields, mud houses, rice and palm harvests, and spice gardens flush with birds and butterflies to reach the Werapitiya Hanging Bridge. Cross the bridge and dip into river rock pools.
Climb to the top of Bambaragala rock for breathtaking views of the Victoria Reservoir. Visit the Bambaragala Cave Temple to appreciate the brightly painted Buddhist artwork.
Trek around Rangala Nature Pool, an incredibly scenic natural pool that's famous with local residents. Time the walk for sunset over the tea hills.
Judy & Chris
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.
