Haputale- Yala National Park by Surface [±120 Kms. ± 3 Hrs]
Early morning walk to enjoy Sunrise at Lipton's Seat, The tea plantations around Lipton's Seat are some of the most spectacular we’ve ever seen and seeing the sunrise from Lipton’s seat was a truly memorable experience. Watching the sun rise above this beautiful countryside and lush green plantations was magical, tranquil and well worth the early start we made to get there.
Then Walking down through the tea fields- We strongly recommend combining it with the sunrise at Liptons Seat as the walk back down through the tea plantations to the Dambatenne tea factory is stunning and probably one of the best things we did in the whole of Sri Lanka.
