Beschrijving
Experience Sri Lanka’s tea country on a day trip from Kandy. Pluck leaves with local workers, tour a working factory, taste premium Ceylon tea, and visit majestic Ramboda Falls!
Immerse yourself in the lush, rolling landscapes of Sri Lanka's world-famous tea country with this interactive, full-day guided experience from Kandy. Far more than a simple sightseeing drive, this hands-on journey allows you to discover the rich heritage of Ceylon tea and marvel at the region's breathtaking natural beauty.
Traveling comfortably in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, your day begins with a highly scenic drive ascending into the central highlands. You will witness panoramic views of verdant mountains, deep valleys, and sprawling green tea estates.
Your first major destination is the renowned Damro Labookellie Tea Centre. Here, you will not just watch—you will participate! Join the local plantation workers out in the fields to experience an authentic tea-plucking session. Learn the delicate art of selecting the perfect fresh leaves. Afterward, head inside for an intimate, step-by-step guided tour of the factory. You will see exactly how the freshly plucked leaves are rolled, fermented, and dried using a blend of historic machinery and traditional craftsmanship.
The factory tour concludes in the inviting tasting room, where you will sample a variety of freshly brewed Ceylon teas, including robust black teas and delicate greens and whites, while learning about their distinct health benefits and flavor profiles.
Following a stop to taste local flavors for lunch, your adventure continues to the spectacular Ramboda Waterfall. Dropping an impressive 109 meters, this cascading natural wonder provides a magnificent backdrop for photos and a refreshing, tranquil escape surrounded by tropical forests.
With all guided transport, factory tours, and tasting experiences included, you can simply relax and enjoy a seamless day of culture, nature, and exceptional tea before returning to Kandy.

BELANGRIJKE INFORMATIE
The hike to the base of Ramboda Falls involves a steep but manageable path that takes about 10 minutes down and 15-20 minutes to climb back up.
The weather in the central highlands can be cooler and unpredictable, so it is highly recommended to bring a light jacket or sweater.
The tea plucking activity takes place outdoors in the working fields; dress comfortably for walking on uneven terrain.
