After breakfast, head toward Ambuluwawa Tower, one of the most unique viewpoints in Sri Lanka. This spiral tower offers a 360° view of mountains, valleys, and clouds — a true hidden gem loved by travelers and photographers alike.

Then, journey into the misty highlands of Nuwara Eliya, often called “Little England” for its cool climate and colonial charm. Visit a tea plantation and factory, where you’ll learn how world-famous Ceylon Tea is made — and enjoy a freshly brewed cup right at the source.

En route, stop at the beautiful Ramboda Falls before arriving in Nuwara Eliya. In the evening, take a leisurely stroll around Gregory Lake, surrounded by green hills and cozy cottages.

Overnight stay in Nuwara Eliya.

Rise early for a visit to the stunning Horton Plains National Park, one of Sri Lanka’s most scenic and biodiverse areas.

Don’t miss the beautiful Baker’s Falls along the trail.

After exploring Horton Plains, return to Nuwara Eliya for breakfast before beginning your scenic drive back to Colombo or directly to the airport, marking the end of an unforgettable 4-day journey filled with culture, adventure, and beauty.
