Highlights

Bentota > Nuwara Eliya

Bentota - Begin your journey at 0700 hrs from your hotel in Bentota. A designated chauffeur guide from Lakpura Travels will meet you. After completing the formalities at the hotel, you will be escorted to your air-conditioned vehicle and head to Ramboda.

Ramboda Falls - Ramboda Falls, set amidst the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, is a mesmerizing waterfall that cascades from a great height into a serene pool below. Surrounded by rich greenery, the falls create a picturesque scene, offering visitors a peaceful retreat in nature’s beauty. Its flowing waters, framed by the rugged terrain, make it a must-visit spot for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty in Sri Lanka’s central highlands.

Next, visit a Tea Factory and plantation to see how the world-renowned “Ceylon Tea” is produced. In 1824, the British brought a tea plant to Ceylon from China and planted it in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya for non-commercial purposes. James Taylor, a British citizen, introduced commercial tea plantation in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Today, even those who have never heard of Sri Lanka are familiar with Ceylon tea, known for its quality.

Nuwara Eliya - Then, proceed to the town of Nuwara Eliya.

Later, explore the highland city that was the premier holiday resort town for the British in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Enjoy strolling through the streets with their charming cottages, quaint villas, and beautiful mansions. Create a memory at the old red-bricked post office by purchasing an inexpensive and colorful postcard to take home or send to friends. Relax at Queen Victoria Park or by the shores of Lake Gregory.

Afterwards, return to the hotel and rest for the night.
