Tea Trails is perched at an altitude of 1,250 m in Sri Lanka’s Ceylon tea region, bordering Sri Lanka’s Central Highlands World Heritage site. Stay in one of five authentic tea planters’ bungalows, each one of which has its own charm. Lakeside Castlereagh, Summerville and Dunkeld, Norwood with panoramic views, and Tientsin, the most traditionally colonial of the five; they are all decorated with period furniture. Observe life on a working tea estate, savour the gourmet cuisine, and be pampered by a personal butler. This is the ideal setting for trekking and biking against the breath-taking backdrop of mountains, lakes and waterfalls.

Sri Lanka - Tea, sea and safari

Long before creating the first three Relais & Châteaux in Sri Lanka, Malik J. Fernando's family was cultivating its refinement with the production of Ceylon tea. Taking in their Dilmah tea plantations and discovering both the Indian Ocean and jungle safaris, this Route du Bonheur provides an extraordinary insight into the island's riches.

Activities, excursions and other attractions during your stay at the Ceylon Tea Trails

Along the tea trails

Take a stroll through an authentic Ceylon tea plantation. From your bungalow, trails weave through forests and cultivated hillsides, offering superb views of the landscape. Led by a naturalist guide, you'll observe local wildlife, learn to identify birds by their song, and follow tracks left by nocturnal animals. On foot or by bike, this expedition reveals a territory uniquely shaped by the cultivation of tea, where nature and traditional skills coexist in harmony.

The Central Highlands

Explore the Sri Lankan Highlands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, led by a local guide and naturalist. Rainforests, high-altitude grasslands and protected natural reserves comprise a remarkably diverse landscape that’s ideal for observing endemic flora and fauna. Along these trails, you’ll enjoy a comfortable walk, stopping to soak up the scenery and to enjoy spectacular valley views from destination lookouts. This is a chance to experience nature at a slow pace, in harmony with the environment.

Climb Adam’s Peak

Climb Adam's Peak–one of the most famous mountains in the world–in the company of one of our trail guides. There is probably no mountain in Sri Lanka more famous, and certainly none associated with quite so many cultural and spiritual beliefs than Sri Pada–Adam's Peak. The mountain, which rises to 7362 feet, is sacred to at least three religions: principally Buddhists, Muslims and Hindus. It is notable for a large depression on its summit that resembles a foot, to which all three religions draw significance. The climb takes approximately three and a half hours (the way is paved with steps) and the trail is flanked by the Peak Wilderness Sanctuary–one of Sri Lanka's highest protected forest reserves. Views from the top are stunning, especially early in the morning as the warmth of dawn lights up an endless vista of forests, valleys, mountains and lakes.
