Sri Lanka’s hill country tours offer an enchanting escape to the island’s stunning central highlands. The green tea-plantations and misty mountains in these regions are a haven for adventure seekers and nature lovers. The beautiful town of Nuwara Eliya which is often referred to as Little England brings out colonial charm with its British-era architecture and well-manicured gardens. You can take scenic train journeys, such as the breathtaking Ella to Kandy route, which passes through tea-covered hills and over stunning bridges and tunnels. If you’re a hiking enthusiast, you can explore the trails of Horton Plains National Park, which leads to the dramatic World’s End viewpoint. Moreover, the hill country tours offer opportunities for you to taste the world-famous Ceylon tea, interact with the warm and welcoming locals as well as gaze into the serene beauty of Sri Lanka’s upcountry. It’ll be a truly captivating and rejuvenating journey.
The best time to visit Sri Lanka’s hill country is from December to March as it’s the dry season. These months offer clear skies and it’s the ideal condition for outdoor activities and exploring the tea plantation because the weather is pleasant.
It’s best to pack layers of clothing, as the weather in the hill country can be cooler than in other parts of Sri Lanka. You should pack comfortable walking shoes, insect repellent, rain gear (especially during the wet season) and sunscreen.
The main destinations in the hill country of Sri Lanka include Badulla, Ella, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Horton Plains National Park. Each place has its own unique charm, from Ella’s stunning views to Kandy’s cultural attractions and Nuwara Eliya’s colonial bungalows.
Popular destinations like Ella and Nuwara Eliya are well-known but you should consider exploring lesser-visited areas like Bandarawela, Haputale, and Knuckles Mountain Range. You’ll get to experience a more tranquil and quiet tranquil hill country experience.
