Tea-estate country of misty lakes gateway to Adam's Peak
Hatton is the beating heart of Ceylon tea country. Emerald estates fold over every hill, pluckers move through the rows in flashes of colour, and the twin reservoirs of Castlereagh and Maskeliya mirror it all in still blue water. This is where some of the world’s finest high-grown tea is made factory visits end with a tasting and where the night pilgrimage to Adam’s Peak begins. Come for the train ride in, stay for planter’s-bungalow evenings, waterfall walks, and mornings wrapped in mist.
Stay a night by Castlereagh Reservoir in a converted planter's bungalow — waking over that water is the hill country at its finest.
Tea hills reflected in glass-still water
From fresh leaf to golden cup, with tastings
The classic starting point for the sacred climb
The Kandy–Hatton line through endless estates
Twin waterfalls framed by tea gardens
Colonial-era estate stays above the lake
Hatton lies in the Nuwara Eliya District, in Sri Lanka's Hill Country region.
