Check into your hotel and enjoy an orientation walk near Gregory Lake.

Horton Plains National Park: World's End & Baker's Falls
Early morning transfer to Horton Plains National Park (depart around 5:00–6:00 AM) to catch the best weather and visibility. Hike the park trail to World's End, a dramatic drop with sweeping views, and visit Baker's Falls. Spot highland wildlife such as sambar deer and endemic birds. Return to Nuwara Eliya for a relaxing afternoon. Evening at leisure — consider a stroll through the town or a visit to a local tea shop.
Important: Entry to Horton Plains requires an early start due to park opening hours and weather.
Tea Estates, Factory Tour & Nuwara Eliya Sights

See the iconic colonial-era post office, Victoria Park, and panoramic viewpoints. Afternoon at Hakgala Botanical Gardens (optional). Evening free to enjoy a traditional Sri Lankan highland dinner.
Highlight: Tea tasting session included — perfect for fans of Ceylon tea.
