The Lowdown on Tea Plantations in Sri Lanka
In this post we’ll discuss everything you need to know about tea plantations in Sri Lanka. No trip to Sri Lanka would be complete without spending a little time visiting a Sri Lankan tea plantation in the Hill Country.
On a tea plantation visit you can learn all about tea picking and tea processing and also enjoy some fine Sri Lankan tea tasting. It’s probably a much more exciting prospect if you’re a tea lover, but even if you’re not, the Hill Country (or Tea Country, as it’s sometimes called) is arguably the most scenic part of the island and worth a visit.
You’ll find rolling hills clad with row upon row of luscious, green tea plants. It’s often shrouded in a fine mist, and is the perfect escape from the heat of Sri Lanka’s wonderful beaches (if you need an escape!).
The tea plantations of Sri Lanka offer such a beautiful contrast to the rest of Sri Lanka, and Hill Country is well worth including in your Sri Lankan itinerary along with some wildlife spotting on a safari in Udawalawe National Park or Yala National Park.
Before we go into all the information you need about visiting the tea plantations in Sri Lanka, you should bear in mind that you may need a Sri Lanka visa to enter the country. The visa can be applied for online.
