Haputale is an area surrounded by hills which covered with cloud forests and tea plantations. And it is the coldest part of Uva and most certainly the most scenic. This place is jam packed with high moutains that offer a magnificent view of everything around from the top.
It is credited as the second tallest waterfall in srilanka. You have to take a hike to actually get to the scenic waterfall. And once you do, you can actually swim and play in the small pools of this majestic water fall.
A current monastery in a former manor. The gardens are tastefully decorated. The part of the manor which is open to the public contains beautiful antiques. There is also a shop where you can get jams, tea and cordials which taste amazing. I highly recommend the bitter orange marmalade.
It is at the peak of a steep hill. The road is set across scenic tea fields and you can hike or take a three-wheeler to get to the top. The views from the top are astounding. You can also take a selfie with Sir Thomas Lipton.
The tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka. You have to walk through forests, stairs and other obstacles to reach this marvel of nature. Once you reach the falls you are rewarded with a dip in its little pools.
