This morning, your route climbs into the cool hills of Nuwara Eliya, where tea estates pattern the slopes in neat green terraces. Pause for High Tea at the Hill Club Tea Lounge, where fine Ceylon blends are served with delicate pastries on tiered stands.
In the afternoon, board the scenic train to Ella. The carriages wind through valleys and across stone viaducts, revealing waterfalls and gardens that drift past your window.
Arrive to check in at 98 Acres Resort, Premium Deluxe, where dinner is served overlooking the rolling hills.
