Stroll through a tea plantation and visit a tea factory where you will gain insight into the manufacturing process as well as an opportunity to taste and purchase the different grades of hill country tea. Climb to the Lipton's Seat, a favorite look out point of Sir Thomas Lipton, the tea pioneer when surveying the surrounding region for his tea plantation near Haputale. Adisham Monastery, modeled on Leeds Castle in Kent, is an interesting morning's excursion. Once the home of Sir Thomas Villers in the early 20th century, Adisham now is a Benedictine monastery with well-tended rose and vegetable gardens. En route, visit the Tangamale bird sanctuary, home to numerous species of exotic birds and butterflies.
