About this experience
Leave Kandy and wind up into Sri Lanka's central highlands on this private, 10.5-hour day trip. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide collects you directly from your hotel and drives you through mist-draped mountain scenery to Nuwara Eliya. Along the way, step inside working tea estates and factories to see exactly how leaves are plucked, withered, rolled, and fired — then try your hand at the process yourself. The air-conditioned vehicle keeps the journey comfortable as the altitude climbs and the temperature drops.
In Nuwara Eliya, stroll the peaceful banks of Lake Gregory and take in the stillness of the water against a backdrop of rolling hills. Entrance tickets to the lake are covered, as is a bottle of water per person. Food, additional drinks, and gratuities fall outside the package. The minimum age for this private tour is 5, making it a practical choice for families as well as couples and solo travellers. Lakpura handles all logistics — your guide simply brings you home to Kandy at the end of the day.
