Ceylon Tea Trails

Heritage and Nature Excursions

Guided by a resident Naturalist, explore the biodiversity and wildlife of our central highlands that are protected as a Unesco World Heritage Serial Property. Excursions include Horton Plains, Galways National Park, Kitulgala rainforest and Peak Wilderness protected forest. You could also explore Kandy or Nuwara Eliya – Heritage cities not to be missed. Kandy is a Unesco heritage city – with points of interest including the Temple of the Tooth and the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. It is the second largest city in Sri Lanka and is steeped in political, cultural and religious history and indeed, played a central role in the tea plantation industry once tea production took sway in Ceylon. On the other hand, Nuwara Eliya was once a favourite holiday city amongst the British during their colonial rule. Old-world English colonial influence meets an evolving city striving to define a new identity, with old symbols of British Heritage standing strong.
