From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Sri Lanka Tea Country & Hill Station Tour
Rolling green tea gardens, misty hills and cool colonial-era towns.
The hill country is the green, cool heart of Sri Lanka, where emerald tea plantations blanket the slopes and the air carries a fresh mountain chill. Here you will find Nuwara Eliya, nicknamed 'Little England' for its colonial villas and gardens, and Ella, a laid-back town surrounded by waterfalls and viewpoints. Between them runs one of the world's most scenic train rides. Holiday Vibez builds the tea country into your tour with estate visits, gentle walks and stays among the plantations.

Why visit the hill country
The hill country offers a completely different side of Sri Lanka, cool and green after the warm coasts. Endless tea gardens, misty mornings, waterfalls and charming towns make it a favourite for walkers, photographers and anyone seeking a gentle change of pace.
Tea estates & tasting
Ceylon tea is world famous, and a visit to a working estate lets you follow the leaf from bush to cup. We arrange factory tours and tastings where you can learn how the tea is picked, dried and graded, then sample it fresh with a hillside view.
The scenic train
No hill-country visit is complete without the celebrated train ride between Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Ella. Rolling slowly past tea gardens, tunnels and viaducts, it is one of the world's great rail journeys, and we can arrange your seats as part of the tour.
Best time to visit
The hills are pleasant much of the year but are at their clearest and driest from around December to March. Bring a warm layer whatever the season, as evenings in Nuwara Eliya can be genuinely cool.
Visa (ETA)
Indian passport holders need a Sri Lanka ETA, applied for online before travel. Holiday Vibez assists with the application so your hill-country escape runs smoothly.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
