Sri Lanka Resorts - Hill Country

The Central Highlands are encompassed by hills beyond hills. The mountainous slopes are set in a cooler climate, acres and acres of tea plantations govern the winding roads. "Tea-pluckers" can be seen scattered throughout the landscape picking the buds off tea bushes that go on to form the most famous brew in the world "Ceylon Tea". Beautiful cascading waterfalls flow down the lush mountain terrains. Elevated above 2000 metres, the near-by Horton Plains is the islands last remaining mountain forest in extent of 3,150 hectares, a bird watcher's paradise, boasting some of the richest varieties of bird-life. Nuwara Eliya, once a hill station for the British is the country's highest situated town and still holds its' quaint colonial feel with Tudor and Georgian architecture.
