Kandy
There is an aroma of history in the air in Kandy, although the city is not as steeped in antiquity as the cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Kandy became a capital only in the fourteenth century and that, in a country with a recorded history that goes back to the sixth century before Christ, is pretty modern.
Adam's Peak
There is probably no mountain anywhere more famous than Sri Pada - Adam's Peak (7,362 ft.) for non-mountain reasons than this.
Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya, 48km from Tea Trails, was first conceived as a health resort - a 'hill station' in British colonial jargon - about 1825. After Nuwara Eliya was 'discovered' by a British hunting party in 1819, Sir Samuel Baker, the well-known explorer, fell under its spell in 1846 and planning to make it his home, imported to Nuwara Eliya all the appointments of an English country town, including a bailiff, Hereford and Durham cows, and even a blacksmith and a forge.
Horton Plains

It is a popular tourist destination and is situated 32 kilometres (20mi) from Nuwara Eliya.
