Discover Ceylon Tea Trails

Ceylon Tea Trails comprises of five restored historic tea planter residences, called bungalows, perched at an altitude of 1250 meters in Sri Lanka’s panoramic Ceylon tea region. The 27 rooms & suites with period furnishings, gracious butler service, and gourmet cuisine create an ambience that has made Tea Trails the gold standard for luxury in Sri Lanka. Each bungalow is unique and offers guests the non-hotel, private house ambience that is the hallmark of the award-winning Tea Trails experience. Follow the Tea Trail from one bungalow to the next, staying a night or two at each or just laze in one. This is the ideal setting for trekking and biking against the breathtaking backdrop of mountains, lakes, winding roads and waterfalls. If you prefer to unwind, observe life on a working tea estate while being pampered by your butler, enjoy a spa treatment, croquet on the lawn or sunbathe alongside the pool. Or explore the lush tea fields & visit a century old factory for a gentle education in the art of Ceylon Tea.

Six glorious rooms and suites open onto magnificent English gardens still standing loyal to the colonial planters’ wives who created ‘a little bit of home’ in a faraway land. Wander the glorious rose terraces and hide away under a leafy arbour to the myriad sounds of the many birds that make their homes there.

TEA TRAILS TEA EXPERIENCE

The guided tour of the Dunkeld Tea Factory is the quintessential tea experience in Sri Lanka. Our resident Tea Planter passionately delves into all aspects of tea in just the right amount of detail – from a look back to the early days of “planting” and the lifestyles of the early colonial settlers, to the manufacturing process, to how flavours are created to suit various palates – he’s got it covered. What went into creating the perfect cup of refreshing Ceylon tea in 1867 were equal parts science, art, sleight of hand, and a spot of luck. And not much has changed since! As some of the methodology and machinery are over a century old we strongly believe that Ceylon Tea itself is part of the world’s living heritage. And this is your invitation to partake in it

 

Duration: 1.5 hours

Time: Peak Season: (Dec-Mar): 09.30am & 11.30am, Non-peak: Start: 10.30am

Availability: Year round

Price: Included in the fully-inclusive rate

Note: The tea factory can be noisy & dusty at times.

On Sundays’ and Public Holidays there is usually no manufacture going on at the factory-however the tour will take place

 

Discover Ceylon Tea Trails

WALKING THE TEA “TRAILS”

Each of the five Tea Trails bungalows features an interesting and unique walking trail; all of which present stunning views. The trails snake through beautifully manicured tea gardens, tranquil patches of forest and jungle, and pass streams and mini waterfalls. Walking is a delightful way of experiencing our stunning landscapes, lush and exotic flora, abundant birdlife and the sweet rhythm of life in a tea garden. A broad spectrum of biodiversity exists in tea country — especially ours — as the plantations are interspersed with forest patches that are home to everything from endemic amphibians and birds to leopards. We recommend a guided walk in the company of a resident naturalist to get an in depth narrative, by spotting animals with their keen eye (especially the smaller critters), identifying bird calls, and interpreting tracks and signs of nocturnal animals such as leopards and smaller cat and mammals such as Fishing Cat, deer, mongoose, and primates who have traversed the trails. Our naturalists are also privy to the workings of tea plantations and can narrate day to day workings visible on the walk. A different variation (and a guest favourite) is to walk the trails from one bungalow to another for lunch or tea. Transport back to your bungalow can be arranged with prior notice.

 

Duration: 1–3 hours

Time: At guest discretion. We advise before breakfast is best for good weather

Availability: Year round

Trails can be walked without a guide free of charge. However, naturalists will offer a deeper, more interesting nature narrative. Trail guides are less articulate in English.

During the wet season, afternoon showers / rain can be expected so morning walks are most rewarding

There is no fixed maximum pax; more than 6 pax would not get the best experience

Naturalists will pick a suitable trail based on several factors including guest interest, difficulty of the trail, duration etc.

PRIVATE TEA TASTING

An interactive and guided experience where guests will taste multiple teas under the guidance of their expert host. During the experience, they will learn (and try for themselves) how professional tea tasters identify (and appreciate!) the unique flavour profiles that give different teas their distinction. Gain a rare and exclusive insight a century – old art form that has shaped a global industry. Compared to the complimentary “Tea Factory tour” experience that is included in the Tea Trails pricing – which is general overview of the history of tea and its product – the Private Tea Tasting is far more detailed, immersive and intimate. The experience is hosted by Bernard Holsinger. Bernard is the resident tea specialist at Tea Trails and brings with him a wealth of experience in the industry, both as a planter as well as a taster. His deep knowledge of tea is complimented with a healthy dose wit and banter.

 

Duration: 1 hour

Time: 03.30 pm

Availability: Year round

Note: The experience is exclusive to a single booking party/group/couple/person

We advise guests to inform their butler and confirm by afternoon the day prior to the experience.

There are no sales involved in the experience. However, if guests choose to purchase any teas, the butler will be happy to assist.

Only available at Dunkeld or Castlereagh bungalows

PLANTER’S LUNCH

In the early days of the tea industry, before motorized travel came to its assistance, tea planters conducted field inspections across a vast area of tea fields and forest, either on foot or horseback. At mid-day, they would take a break under the shade of a tree or the shelter of a makeshift hut for lunch and a rest. The “Planters’ Lunch” is a plusher, four-course version (to Relais and Chateaux standards no less!) served in tiffin boxes in a picnic setting. The location is on the hillside above Dunkeld Bungalow flanked by tea and jungle on either side, with vistas of the rolling tea fields that start from the glassy Castlereagh Lake and creep up on to jagged mountaintops. The way up to the picnic spot is via a scenic trail that commences at Dunkeld Bungalow and we recommend guests take the walk either up to the picnic spot or from lunch back down to the Bungalow. TEA INFUSED DINNER Bringing together the subtle influences of the flavours of tea (not to mention the health benefit), the Tea Infused Dinner is a signature culinary experience unique to Tea Trails. Teas grown in various areas of Sri Lanka have distinctly different flavour profiles, and each lends a different effect to types of ingredients and methods of preparation. Earl grey cured fresh salmon, Moroccan mint tea crusted lamb cutlet, and vanilla panna cotta with minted fresh fruits and hibiscus tea sauce are some examples of a menu that appeals to both the intellectual curiosity as well as the palate of any gourmet.

 

Duration: 1.5–2 hours

Time: 12.30 pm (ideally after tea factory tour)

Availability: Ideally during dryer months (December-April), but available year round, subject to weather

 

Additional notes:

The experience is exclusive to a single booking party/group/couple/person

Wine and spirits of choice (within the parameters of the AI rate) are included

We advise guests to inform their butler and confirm by afternoon the day prior to the experience.

There are no restroom facilities at the lunch site, so we advise guests to freshen up prior to heading up to the spot

A vehicle will be on standby, within a 10-minute drive time

Guests may encounter some mist and light rain any time of the year in the afternoon and is an integral part of the region’s weather

If the rain is prohibitive to the experience, our team will look for an alternative location to execute the lunch,

but this may not be as remote as the watch hut

Guests are advised to dress in layers due to nuances of the weather

Guests with small children are cautioned that the hut is unfenced with a steep drop below

DISCOVER SRI LANKAN CUISINE

A hands-on experience with one of our amazing Tea Trails chefs. Learn the basics of Sri Lankan cooking, from the range of spices and ingredients, to techniques and recipes behind the magic of Sri Lankan cuisine.

An ideal prelude to a full Sri Lankan dinner option that night.

Duration: 1 hour

Availability: Year round

Time: 5 pm

Notes: Can arrange as a private experience at a preferred location (weather permitting)

 

 

TOUR OF RESEARCH STATION FOR LEOPARD & CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTABILITY

Resplendent Ceylon and Dilmah Conservation set up this station to support the work of the Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT) whose founders are pioneering research on Sri Lankan leopard. While the hill country is known better for tea plantations, pockets of forest are home to a strong population of leopards. Interestingly, there is a healthy population of leopards in the forest areas between Dunkeld and Norwood Bungalows and beyond, as seen by camera trap footage. Visitors are encouraged to visit the research station located next to Dunkeld tea factory and learn about these fascinating, elusive, threatened cats, their habits and the conservation efforts we are supporting. Guests can be accompanied by one of our resident naturalists who support the research team on the ground.

 

Duration: Flexible

Time: Advisable to visit after the Tea Factory Tour

Availability: Year round

Price: Free of charge

 

Additional notes:

The location is an active research centre, and arrange as such. Visitor access is a privilege.

No donations are required. But we will have a mechanism to fund research soon.

Guests can spend as much time as they like, based on their interest levels.

This is not a tour (nor is there a possibility) to see leopards in the wild

 

 

ADAM’S PEAK CLIMB

There is probably no mountain anywhere more famous than Sri Pada – Adam’s Peak (7362 ft/2250m) for reasons that are cultural and spiritual. It is sacred to three religions at least; to Buddhists, Muslims and Hindus. The mountain is signified by a large depression on the 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 morning as the warmth of dawn lights up the country in an endless vista of forests, valleys, mountains and lakes. The “season” to climb is from December to April where pilgrims begin their climb shortly after midnight in order to summit at sunrise. Year-round climbs during the day are possible, although sporadic rainy weather and mist is to be expected.

Duration: 1-hour drive to base. Min. 3.5 hour climb to summit

Time: 1 am during the season for sunrise summit. 05 am at other times of the year

Availability: Year-round, but dry season (December to April) is recommended

 

Additional Notes:

A Ceylon Tea Trails guide will accompany guests.

Mist, wind and rainy conditions may be prevalent during off season

We recommend a maximum of 6 guests per group with a trail guide. For larger groups we can add a trail guide

 

GUIDED NATURE EXCURSIONS

A collection of forest reserves and national parks in the hill country make for interesting excursions for the nature-

lover. Horton Plains National Park comprises of montane grassland and cloud forest, and is home to many endemic

species of both flora and fauna. While a healthy population of leopards consider Horton Plains home, they are rarely

seen in the daytime. However, a fascinating landscape, birds, primates, and smaller critters make Horton Plains a

must-visit destination. The views from the “World’s End” cliff are stunning on a clear day as well.

Hakgala Botanical Gardens– first established in 1861 –is home to over 10,000 species of trees and plants. It also

plays a key role in the classic folk tale the Ramayana. Galway’s-land National Park is a small forest reserve in the

town of Nuwara Eliya and is considered by birders (along with the adjacent Victoria Park) and a key birding site in Sri

Lanka as over 30 native species are recorded to be resident here. Kitulgala (also known as Makandawa Forest

Reserve) is a tropical rainforest and is considered a birder’s paradise too.

Excursions to each of these forest reserves are in the company of one of our experienced resident naturalists.

 

Drive to the location and Duration:

Horton Plains–2.5 hour driven to the location, duration-09 hours

Kithulgala–1.5-hour drive to the location, duration–07 hours

Peak Wilderness area in Maskeliya –1-hour drive to the location, duration–05 hours

HERITAGE CITY EXCURSIONS 

KANDY

The UNESCO World Heritage listed “Sacred City of Kandy” is the second largest city in Sri Lanka and is steeped in political, cultural and religious history and indeed, played a central role in the tea plantation industry once tea production took sway in Ceylon (as Sri Lanka was previously known) in the latter part of the 19th century. The Kingdom of Kandy was established in the 14th century, becoming the country’s capital city in the 16th century. Kandy is particularly famous for being home to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Commonly known as the Dalada Maligawa, the temple is believed to house the left canine tooth retrieved from the Buddha’s funeral pyre. It is regarded as a symbolic representation of the living Buddha. Worshipping at the temple is believed to improve one’s karma immeasurably and the shrine receives a constant f low of worshippers and tourists alike. The day trip to Kandy is in the company of a Tea Trails resident naturalist and first stop is the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. A picnic lunch in the gardens ensues followed by a visit to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Guests also have the option of making part of the commute by train, and the train ride is one of the most scenic as it winds its way along lush green mountains with vistas across valleys below.

 

Drive to the location and duration: 2.5-hour drive, duration–08 hours

Time: 08 am

Availability: Year round

Additional notes:

Modest, respectful attire is required to enter the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic.

Afternoon showers are common during May to September

Naturalist will advise the best location to visit based on guest interest (e.g. Udawatta Kaley, etc)

 

NUWARA ELIYA

Nuwara Eliya, 48 km from Tea Trails, was first conceived as a health resort- a ‘hill station’ in British colonial jargon – about 1825. After Nuwara Eliya was ‘discovered’ by a British hunting party in 1819, Sir Samuel Baker, the well-known explorer, fell under its spell in 1846 and planning to make it his home, imported to Nuwara Eliya all the appointments of an English country town, including a bailiff, Hereford and Durham cows, and even a blacksmith and a forge. Nuwara Eliya is where old-world English colonial influence meets an evolving city striving to define a new identity, with old symbols of British Heritage standing strong. One of these is the “Hill Club”–a castle-like private resort that was once a bastion of leisure and lifestyle or the elite. Visitors are welcome for a brief tour and a spot of tea on the lawn. We also visit the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, a century-old 18-hole championship golf course in the heart of the town. Contrary to the typical golf club, this clubhouse is quaint and charming and welcomes visitors. A G&T overlooking the 18th fairway is a must. If the weather is misty, the cosy bar is lined with old pictures and tournament winner’s boards spanning a century– quietly boasting a proud heritage while hosting visitors for a wee dram by the fireplace. Other sites we visit include the old racecourse, Lake Gregory, the Hakgala Botanical Gardens and the lively commotion of the Nuwara Eliya Market. The day trip to Nuwara Eliya is in the company of a Tea Trails resident naturalist who is well versed in the significance and detail of key points of interests. Guests also have the option to do part of the excursion by train, which we recommended for some beautiful views and scenery.

 

Drive to the location and duration: 2-hour drive, duration–07 hours

Time: 08 am

Availability: Year round

 

Additional notes:

Afternoon showers are common during May to September

 

KAYAKING ON CASTLEREAGH LAKE

Enjoy magnificent views of tea-carpeted mountains as you paddle along the Castlereagh lake in hi-spec kayaks. Mornings are the most beautiful as the weather is often fairer and the sun breaks through to gleam over the glassy water and the foreboding mountains surrounding the lake emerge from the thinning mist. Kayaking is done in the company of one our resident trail guides who will provide safety instructions as well. All our kayaks are two-person kayaks which also make for an ideal activity for couples or families.
