As the beguiling Bambarakanda, Diyaluma and Ramboda waterfalls spread pearls in the breath taking greenery of dark mountains, high peaks such as Pidurutalagala, Kirigalpoththa and Namunukula are ready to tilt your adventure bone by giving you a good challenge in trekking.

Man added some more sparkles to the God’s creation with wide spread valleys of Ceylon Tea. More than indulging you by fresh fragrance, the tranquility of tea gardens seem to conspire and take your breath away.
