After breakfast we visit the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens and leave afterwards for Nuwara Eliya. En route we'll see two beautiful waterfalls – Devon Falls, 281ft – 86 meters, tall and narrow, framed in a glittering silvery silhouette, set against the background of a green steep precipice. St. Clair Falls, 241ft – 73 meters small but lovely with a broad cascade that flows from within the site of the Devon Falls. Nuwara Eliya is supposed to be one of the coolest places on the island, but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night. All around Nuwara Eliya, you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions.
En-route visit a Sri Lankan tea plantation and a working tea factory and also experience a self-tea plucking session.

Those who visit Horton Plains can’t help but be enamored by the sight of many wild animals and different species of birds enjoying the resplendent surroundings. Walk through Horton Plains to the precipice known as World’s End – a sheer drop of an astonishing 1,050 meters, an excellent place to look out over the surrounding hills, and a popular spot for photos. Return to your hotel in the afternoon and then you are free for a walk to the local market .

Day 5: NUWARA ELIA – ADAMS PEAK
After breakfast you'll move on to Sri Pada. It is variously known as Adam`s Peak, the place where
Adam first set foot on Earth after being cast out of heaven or “Sacred Footprint” left by Buddha
as he headed towards paradise or “Samanalakande “ Butterfly Mountain, where butterflies go
to die. Whichever legend you care to believe, the fact remains that it has been a pilgrimage
centre for over 1000 years.
The best to visit Adam`s Peak is between January – May ,as from May – October the peak is
obscure by cloud cover most of the time. Adam`s Peak is not for the faint hearted, as it is for the early morning riser , ascending the mount as early as 5am to get the best view.
