Haputale is a quaint town beautifully nestled in the hill country of Sri Lanka. Known for its breath-taking views and enchanting climate, the town sits on the southern edge of the country's central highlands, typically marked by lush green landscapes and endless tea plantations. The area is widely celebrated for the Dambatenne Tea Factory, where you can enjoy a surreal journey through the process of brewing Ceylon Tea. Not far from the factory, Lipton's Seat lookout is another famous spot, offering the mesmerizing views of the misty mountains and surrounding estates, often considered as one of the best vantage points in Sri Lanka. Visitors to Haputale also frequent the Adisham Bungalow, a monastery run by Benedictine Monks, known for its tranquil atmosphere and architectural beauty.

Sri Lanka, a gem nestled in the Indian Ocean off Southeast India, is a radiant blend of tropical beaches, verdant tea plantations, wildlife-strewn savannah, and intricate sacred relics. Known as the 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean', Sri Lanka boasts eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, the Sigiriya rock fortress, and the sacred city of Kandy. It's globally renowned for its Ceylon Tea, prolific wildlife - featuring elephants, leopards and a myriad of bird species - and vibrant Sinhalese and Tamil cultures. From the Dutch colonial architecture of Galle to the traditional festivals brimming with dances, masks, and fire-walking, and the sun-kissed, palm-fringed beaches of Trincomalee and Unawatuna, Sri Lanka pulses with an irresistible allure for explorers.

When planning to travel to Sri Lanka, please exercise heightened caution due to several risks, including civil unrest, terrorism, and economic crisis. Both the US and Australian governments advise of potential threats such as public demonstrations and security risks. The economic situation in the country has led to shortages of basic necessities like food, fuel, and medicines, as advised by the Canadian Government. Therefore, ensure you are well-prepared, stay alert, and regularly update yourself with local news and advisories.

I've stayed dias home in haputale with a nice family and an amazing view on the mountains. There were so mech places to go by walk (I walk a lot) and the village is so nice. I did a nice walk with an host going to a waterfall and I loved to take the train from there. The tea plantations are so beautiful and the way to go to the lipton seat pretty hard but amazing.
Love that place so much. Still thinking to go back there.
