Ceylon Tea Trails, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka remains one of our all-time favourite destinations for a travel experience that screens out the brashness and frenzy of the western world – somewhere you can truly relax and unwind while being in awe and deep respect of local traditions. And once you stir in a love of infusions such as we all have at 360 Private Travel, well, we’re absolutely determined to go there again to savour the delightful and refreshing Ceylon Tea Trails.
Ceylon Tea Trails, Sri Lanka
Ceylon Tea Trails radiate out from a beautifully preserved plantation village – traditional tea-planters’ bungalows where antique furnishings meet exceptional luxury service, with your own personal butler and Relais & Chateaux cuisine radiating local flavours and spices.
Part of your stay is a personal visit to the nearby Dunkeld Tea Factory, nestling in the Central Highlands countryside, where you’ll learn about, understand, and sample exceptionally pure teas a spoon’s-throw from their very source. If you love that there are plenty more excursions on foot and even horseback, lasting anything from an hour to a whole day and including outings specially tailored to children. All of which takes you deep into the stunning vistas and gentle breezes of inner Sri Lanka.
