Nuwara Eliya One Day Tour: Tea, Waterfalls and Colonial Charm

Your Nuwara Eliya adventure begins right from your hotel. We’ll start the day by journeying through winding roads to the magnificent Ramboda Waterfall, one of the most impressive cascades in the region. The scenic drive continues to the Labukale Tea Estate, where you’ll get an inside look at the entire tea-making process, from the green leaf to the final cup, which you’ll get to taste yourself.

Next, we dive into the heart of Nuwara Eliya’s colonial past. We’ll visit the iconic red-brick Post Office, a beautiful remnant of the British era, before enjoying the peaceful, park-like atmosphere of Gregory Lake. A visit to a local strawberry farm adds a touch of sweetness to the day.

The tour then takes a spiritual turn at the colourful Seetha Amman Kovil, a temple cherished for its connection to the epic Ramayana. Afterwards, find tranquility amidst the vibrant flowerbeds and ancient trees of the Hakgala Botanical Gardens. We’ll also take you to see the lovely Lover’s Leap Waterfall and ascend to the Shanthipura View Point for a stunning panoramic look over the town and surrounding tea fields. After a day packed with beauty and discovery, your driver will return you safely to your hotel.
