SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

CEYLON TEA TRAILS, CASTLEREAGH RESERVOIR

Five luxury bungalows, each with four to six rooms
LUXURY BUNGALOWS RESERVOIR

Each bungalow has its own unique style

Nestled in “The Golden Valleyâ€, Ceylon Tea Trails will not only give you a new appreciation of tea, but a deep insight into the rich culture and history of Sri Lanka.

Your Tea Trail will lead you around the breath-taking scenery of Castlereagh Reservoir – set high in the central uplands of Sri Lanka – to stay at five characterful bungalows. Each bungalow has its own unique style, but all offer a taste of colonial-era luxury with plush beds, period furnishings, timbered ceilings, log fires and antique touches. Not to mention awe-inspiring views over the mountains, glistening lake and tea fields.

When you’re not drinking in the splendid vistas, you’ll find tennis courts, a croquet lawn, outdoor pools, white water rafting and scenic hiking and biking trails to enjoy. You’ll also be able to take leisurely strolls through immaculate tea gardens; watch the dexterity of tea pickers and learn all about the ancient process and history of tea-making from the resident planter.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91ºÚÁÏÍø.
