This was one of the nicest things we did on our fantastic holiday in Sri Lanka. We decided to organize a tuktuk to take us to the top to watch the sun rise and we had the most perfect weather with views for miles. It was a truly magical and quite emotional experience. After tea at the little tea house at the top we walked down to the tea factory which, what with the lack of health and safety measures and the fact that nothing has changed there in probably 75 years, was the best factory tour that I have ever done. Lastly some time spent talking with a bunch of tea picking ladies who were very open and welcoming to us gave us further insight into their daily lives. Thoroughly well worth the crazy early start.

Beautiful drive through the tea plantation As roads are small and broken at some places driving is dangerous. Once you reach the mountain top it’s a beautiful view. Three wheelers tuktuk are the best to drive there. The tea shop isn’t hygienic, so better to avoid having tea from there Buy vegetables and fresh fruits on the way. Enjoy the drive

We went from Haputale on a scooter. Me, a 43 year old mum and 15 year old son on the back. I am not the best scooterdriver, but it was doable. Only the last bit between the ticket office and liptonseat was sometimes not very good road. But doable. We started around 7 in Haputale, arrived around 8 on lipton seat. Because we where early, we had a very good view. We had breakfast in the cafe on top. Walked around and when we left at ten o clock it was cloudy. So make sure you go early. Breakfast was cheap and good, with Lipton tea. The way towards is nice to see the teapickers in action. The way back we enjoyed driving in the clouds and smelling clouds and tea mixed together. Absolutely worth it!

This was one of the highlights of our tour. By Tuk Tuk the 16 kms up to Lipton seat felt precarious at times, with bumpy and narrow roads. But seeing the tea plantation covering every square inch was awe inspiring.We had a wonderful drivers who was quite funny and knowledgeable and whose English was very good. 6000 feet above sea level we were above clouds and the views were spectacular. It was a Sunday so no one was working but people were going about their daily routine.

Upon arriving at Lipton's Seat, the first thing that struck me was the sheer beauty of the surrounding landscape. The tea plantations, stretching as far as the eye can see, were a vibrant tapestry of greens and golds, with workers plucking tea leaves under the sun. The air was fresh and invigorating, invigorating my senses as I made my way to the viewpoint.
