Sri Lanka Hill Country: Tea & Mist
Last updated: October 1, 2025
Tea paths, rail windows, and valleys that drink clouds—slow loops between towns.
Tea Estate Walks
Short signed paths between rows; greet pickers; buy tea at small estate shops.
Nine Arches & Rail Bends
Watch the morning train curve; choose a safe viewpoint; respect railway rules.
Practical & Bases
- Base: Ella or Nuwara Eliya; add a night on a tea estate.
- Season: mist most mornings; rain breaks add depth to greens.
- Etiquette: stick to paths; ask before photos of workers; no litter.
