Itinerary description
lovely hike through tea plantations and small communities with beautiful views across the mountains. The trail is mainly single track cement or rocky and starts at the Ceylon Tea Museum. just beside a huge sign for the bird park. Unfortunately the first few kms from Hanthana are not marked so we took the wrong path and ended up doing a detour through a small village. It is easier to start the trail at the Intersection (photo #7). Phone died just before reaching the Galaha. its easy to get a tuktuk back to Kandy
