Trekking the Trails

Discover a broad spectrum of biodiversity

In the company of a Tea Trails Naturalist or Experience Guide, walk or cycle (or both!) through our trails and explore the scenery of Sri Lanka's tea country.

A broad spectrum of biodiversity exists in hill country - especially ours - as the plantations are interspersed with forest patches that are home to a variety of biodiversity from endemic amphibians to birds and leopards.

Our Naturalist will offer in-depth narrative to the surrounding flora and fauna, share insights on life on a working tea plantation, as well as interesting factoids on history and heritage that combined make for an informative experience.
