The trip

Nuwara Eliya is the island's high point in every sense. Six days of colonial charm: grand old guesthouses, a morning walk through a private tea estate with the pluckers, a garden picnic among roses, and evenings by the fire with Ceylon tea. Cool, green and quietly romantic.

Highlights

  • Private tea-estate walk with a master plucker
  • Pedro tea factory & tasting session
  • Victoria Park & the rose gardens
  • Golf-course sunrise stroll
  • Strawberry picking at a hill farm
