Journey to the top of the world across a limitless mountain vista adorned by a green carpet of tea plants. Enter a long lost era through a portal of clouds and feel the kiss of mountain mist on your skin. Breathe the pristine mountain air and let your soul be rejuvenated. Gaze upon the dreamscape of Bandarawela. Reside at the Bandarawela Hotel, and live for a while in a land of strawberries, pears and tea.
Surrounded by hills and tea plantations, the town of Bandarawela is the perfect getaway from Sri Lanka's tropical heat. The town enjoys spring like weather throughout the year. A favourite retreat of the British during colonial times, Bandarawela is dotted with English country style houses and sprawling gardens. Bandarawela is a busy market town at an elevation of 1,230m. Bandarawela was once said to have one of the healthiest climates in the world. Some of the best and most 'flavoured’ tea is said to come from this area. The best pears and strawberries are also grown here since the climate is dry and mild.
Bandarawela is an ideal base for excursions to Horton Plains, Adisham Monastery, the tea plantations, nearby waterfalls, Udawalawe Wildlife Sanctuary and Hakgala Botanical Gardens.
