Hike up Single Tree Hill, the most panoramic vantage point of Nuwara Eliya which gives an extraordinary view of the city below. It is the ninth highest peak in Sri Lanka (2100 meters), rising only 250 meters above the Nuwara Eliya city. From the summit of this hill, you could absorb the beauty of the Haggala Mountain, Pidurutalagala range, Lake Gregory and the whole of the northern slice of the Horton Plains.
Meet your guide in Nuwara Eliya and after an introduction, set out through the tea estates. Wear comfortable shoes and bring clothes suitable for warm, windy, or rainy conditions.
Walk up through the lush tea plantations, following the dirt track coiling up the slopes. Stop for energy bars on route, admiring the beautiful tea country as you rest and your guide points out places of interest. A backup vehicle will accompany you in case it’s needed.
Reach the top and enjoy an hour to admire the spectacular views and famous lone tree. Gaze down over Nuwara and Lake Gregory, and depending on the weather, absorb the panoramic views of the Haggala Mountains and peaks of Sri Pada and Piduruthalagala.
Hike down to Lake Gregory.
Enjoy a waterside picnic lunch of pasta, a boiled egg, sausages, and fruit.
You will be dropped off at your hotel by TukTuk.
