Sitting amidst tea plantations and breathtaking scenery, Haputale is located in the upcountry of Sri Lanka. Here are some of the best things to do when you visit.
Lipton Seat
Sitting on a hill, Lipton Seat offers the most gorgeous views of the area. It’s a place where Sir Thomas Lipton, the famous tea magnate, would visit to oversee his tea plantations. There’s a bit of a hike to the top, but it’s well worth it.
Bambarakanda Waterfall
Standing at 263 metres, Bambarakanda Waterfall is the tallest waterfall in Sri Lanka. People visit to see the tall cascade crash down into the pool below, which is a mesmerising sight. Bring your camera to capture the beautiful scenery.
You’ll also find some accommodation nearby. If you’re interested in bungalows in Haputale, Sri Lanka, you might like Mandara Ridge Haputale, which is about half an hour from Bambarakanda Waterfall.

Pahanthudawa Waterfall
Hidden deep in a forest, Pahanthudawa Waterfall is much quieter and less crowded. The trek to reach the waterfall is a true adventure. Surrounded by unspoiled nature, this waterfall is a nature lover’s dream come true.
