TRAIL DESCRIPTION: Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes surrounding Tientsin Bungalow, this gentle loop is an ideal morning or late afternoon walk. The village you see to your left as you exit the bungalow is also called Tientsin. We're surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills as you follow the meandering path. The trail offers panoramic views of the upper Bogawantalawa Valley on both sides, north and south - both ridges standing at an approximate elevation of 1600 meters. These are the same views the famous 19th century photographer Julia Margaret Cameron, one of the pioneering figures in the history of photography, would have seen almost 150 years ago.
HIKING TIPS:
- Wear comfortable and light-weight clothes.
- The hotel can provide umbrellas if needed.
- The terrain can be unsteady sometimes, hence it is advisable to wear walking shoes.
- Drink plenty of water. We can provide refreshments if required.
- Make sure you protect your head and skin from the sun.
- We have leech socks that you are welcome to borrow.
YOUR SAFETY: Ceylon Tea Trails offers the services of professional naturalist guides who are highly recommended. If you choose to self guide remember to consider all the information available and to heed local advice when necessary. Trail users are responsible for all decisions pertaining to the trail routes, trail conditions, weather, and safety. In addition to the hazards posed by steep terrain and mountain weather, trail users should be prepared for challenging route-finding and sometimes challenging trail conditions, dogs, leeches, heavy rain, intermittent thunderstorms, and plenty of sun. It is recommended to drink at least ½ litre of water per hour when hiking. Access to emergency medical care and rescue may not always immediately available.
RESPONSIBLE HIKING:
- Leave no trace: Leave the environment as you found it.
- Respect wildlife: Observe animals from a distance and avoid disturbing them.
- Please ask permission before you take pictures of people.
- Dress respectfully. Please refrain from hiking shirtless.
- Dress modestly at religious sites.
- Please avoid giving money directly to people who ask.
