Grand Ceylon Holidays
Highland Getaway

Escape to Sri Lanka's Enchanting Hill Country

Retreat to the cool, misty heights of Sri Lanka with Grand Ceylon Holidays' Highland Getaway tour. This rejuvenating escape takes you to the island's central highlands, where lush tea plantations, cascading waterfalls, and colonial charm create a perfect setting for relaxation and exploration.

Your highland adventure begins in Kandy, the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, nestled around a picturesque lake and surrounded by rolling hills. Visit the sacred Temple of the Tooth Relic, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore the magnificent Royal Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya, home to an impressive collection of orchids and tropical plants.

Journey deeper into the hills to Nuwara Eliya, often referred to as "Little England" due to its colonial architecture and cool climate. Here, you'll discover verdant tea estates that stretch as far as the eye can see. Tour a working tea factory to learn about the meticulous process of creating the perfect cup of Ceylon tea, from plucking to processing, followed by a tasting session of different tea varieties.

The Highland Getaway also includes visits to stunning waterfalls, scenic train journeys through mist-covered mountains, and leisurely walks through charming hill stations. Throughout your journey, Grand Ceylon Holidays provides comfortable accommodations in boutique hotels and colonial-era tea bungalows, allowing you to experience the unique atmosphere of Sri Lanka's highlands in authentic style.
