Discover the hidden beauty of Sri Lanka’s hill country on this private full-day adventure from Kandy, designed by Sakura Ceylon Travel — a local company co-founded by a Sri Lankan guide and his Japanese partner. Experience authentic local life and warm Japanese-style hospitality as you explore tea-covered hills, hidden waterfalls, and tranquil lakes with your friendly local driver.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive through misty hills toward Sembuwatta Lake, one of the most picturesque natural reservoirs in the region. Surrounded by pine forests, the lake’s turquoise waters reflect the sky and mountains — a peaceful haven ideal for photos, short walks, or simply taking in the serene atmosphere.

A short distance away, visit the Unnas Poul Waterfall, a secluded natural cascade surrounded by lush greenery. Feel the cool mountain breeze and the soothing sound of flowing water — a perfect escape from city life.

Next, explore the charming Kandy Village, where time seems to slow down. Wander along rustic paths, meet welcoming villagers, and experience authentic Sri Lankan countryside life — a genuine connection beyond typical tourist routes.

Continue your adventure to the spectacular Kala Boka Upperdivision 360° View Point, offering panoramic views across valleys and distant peaks — a hidden gem for nature and photography lovers. From there, descend to the graceful Huluganga Ella Waterfall, where crystal-clear water flows through lush forest, creating a soothing natural retreat.

Finally, end your journey surrounded by emerald-green Tea Lands, where you’ll learn about the art of traditional tea cultivation and enjoy a freshly brewed cup of Ceylon tea while overlooking the hills.

- Solo travelers or couples: enjoy the open-air charm of a Tuk Tuk, feeling the breeze and rhythm of local life.
