Today, step out onto the course and wander down fairways lined by majestic mara rain trees. During your game over this 18-hole course, don’t be surprised if just two or three white egrets swoop across the landscape of the magnificent Knuckles Mountain range, broken by the placid Victoria reservoir.

The slow descent through the tea fields and hill country, with its winding tracks and misty panoramas, offers an unmatched perspective and wonderful experience. Welcome to Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka’s tea growing region! Visit a tea estate and factory to see how Ceylon tea is made. Afterwards, drive around the town to see the same. Often referred to as Little England, this genteel highland community does have a rose-tinted, vaguely British-country-village feel to it, with its colonial-era bungalows, Tudor-style hotels, well-tended hedgerows and pretty gardens. Take a guided tour of town, passing by the 18-hole golf course, the colonial members-only Hill Club, and English-styled country homes. Arrive at your hillside hotel, a restored Georgian-style country mansion with a modern Sri Lankan flair.
