Today you will board the train to Nuwara Eliya in the hill country-located in the Central Province of Sri Lanka, and popular for its Ceylon Tea plantations. With its cool air, magnificent waterfalls, and thriving tea culture, the enchanting allure of these hills must to be seen to be believed. Clicketty-clack through dark tunnels on winding tracks, past tea bushes trimmed by regular picking that look like green sculptures stretching up and down the misty hills as far as the eye can see. While on board do not forget to spare few rupees to buy some short eats and sweets from the local food vendor or to tip the local singer who will be singing on top of his lungs.
Spend the rest of the day at your leisure in Grand Hotel with High Tea in the evening.
On a clear day, the view is incredible.
From this point, you can either return to the entrance the same way you came or continue on an open pathway (no more shade) around hillsides until a short climb brings you to the ridge just above Baker’s Falls, where a track leads down to the water. The falls are about 20 metres high, and are worth visiting if you are a keen walker and prepared to do the longer circuit. Returning to the entrance gate is along another open path and takes around 45 minutes. The entire walk is around 8 km if you walk to World’s End and back, or around 9 km (5.6 miles) if you do the full circuit. Afterwards, you will transfer to Ella. Relax and unwind into boundless joy with stunning views of the hill country.
The Rumassala Beach is rich in biodiversity and the reef acts as a protected sanctuary and serves as a major archaeological site.
