The evenings are left relaxed, with time to enjoy the hotel or a soft cultural show if desired.
Nuwara Eliya – Days 7 to 8
Travel into the hill country with a visit to a Ceylon tea plantation on the way. Nuwara Eliya offers cool weather, scenic views, and a slower rhythm that suits senior guests very well.
One full day is left for leisure, so guests can enjoy the hotel, the gardens, or a light local outing without pressure.
Bandarawela – Days 9 to 10
