Luxury holidays in the lush tea country of Sri Lanka | Activities

First the "Tea Experience" with our Planter in Residence. Follow the trail of the planters of old Ceylon, as they trekked through the dense jungle looking for the best slopes on which to plant tea. Then on to watch the tea pluckers pick two leaves and a bud with deft hands. A tea factory visit is a must to see the care with which the leaves are dried and processed for the "single origin tea" that Dilmah is famed for. Follow the scratch marks of the Gallus Lafayetii the endemic jungle fowl on a bird watching expedition. Kayaking or rafting on the white water. A dawn expedition to climb the famed " Adams Peak" mountain nearby. Golfing, biking and trekking are some of the exhilarating activities on offer. Trek through some of the most beautiful and scenic country in the island. Tea Trails provides many activities for the adventurous.

Heritage Quest

The English and Scottish planters who created "a little bit of England" in Ceylon's "up country" to make way for the island's tea plantations have long gone but their legacy of meticulously managed tea gardens and the good planters' life is alive and well with Dilmah Tea Company's four luxurious Tea Trails bungalows in the Bogowantalawa Valley.
