No visit to our beautiful island is complete without a trip to the province of Uva, known for its delicately flavored and aromatic tea. High in the mountains of Uva, breathe in fresh air, hear the sounds of nature around you, and at night see the twinkling stars so close that you can almost touch them.Your visit to Uva will take you through golden-green fields of tea to Haputalé (Hapu-thalé) town and the historic Haputalé Pass, where Keppitipola held the British at bay (1817). From Haputalé access to archaeological sites, wildlife habitats, and the beach are within easy reach.
One mile from the town center are the Kelburne Mountain View Cottages, nestled in the midst of a tea estate. Perched at the edge of a cliff 5,000 feet above sea-level, the cottage overlook five provinces: the Eastern, the Southern, the Western, Sabaragamuwa, and the Uva. Old timers say that from Kelburne you can see forever.
Sitting on the terrace of our colonial-style cottages, you will marvel at the vista that spreads before you. The rolling hills and valleys below will make you feel as if you are soaring through the sky like a Kite gliding on the wind currents. The incredible view is only the beginning. Walk through tea fields while watching colorfully clad tea-pluckers, visit a tea factory, relax to the gentle sounds of dragonflies flitting across the garden of your personal cottage, and sip the freshest tea in all of Sri Lanka.
