Lake Gregory Tours

The road from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya is full of turns, deceptively long and passes some of the largest tea plantations in the world. Truth be told, driving anywhere in the hill country of Sri Lanka is an exercise in patience given that even short distances can take hours due to slow moving traffic, poor weather or less than desirable roads. Better then to sit back and enjoy the ride while stopping for the occasional picture. (as we did for this cloudy sunset)

TukTuk public transportation in SriLanka parked near Gregory Lake in Nuwara Eliya.
A beautiful train journey through the rolling hills of Sri Lanka's enormous tea plantations. I took this train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella which took about 3 hours, and less than 300 rupees- third class is worth the mild discomfort for the people you meet. And Ella is definitely worth a trip- stunning views and hikes up to Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak.
Tamil tea picker, up the hill of nuraya eliya sri lanka you will find an acre and acre of lush green tea plantation, and this women pick the tip of the tea leave everyday for an amount of 1 dollar per day.
