Haputale

Situated in Sri Lanka’s spectacular hill country, Haputale is perfectly situated for hiking in the mystically beautiful Horton Plains national park, dipping your toes into Bambarakanda, the island’s tallest waterfall and one of many in the area, and offering a fascinating insight into the island’s tea planter history. More charming than its rival Ella, Haputale offers an authentic overview of the country’s mountainous region. Simply, Haputale is a place where time stands still and nature takes over. A leisurely stroll through the countryside and breathing in that crisp fresh air is all it takes for holiday feeling to truly set in.

Home to some of Sri Lanka’s most lavish establishments, Haputale is the place to splurge. Choose from one of its splendid renovated tea planter’s bungalows and experience going back in time. Enjoy high tea on the lawn, a nightcap in the drawing room by a roaring fire and tour the surrounding tea plantations. It may not have the same tropical climate as its coastal counterparts but Haputale and the Hill Country offer a wonderful cultural experience and insight into Sri Lanka’s fascinating history.

When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.

Client Testimonials

I would recommend Ampersand without any hesitation!!! The best travel agent that I’ve ever had. Everything – from the individual care and attention in planning the trip, through to the efficiency of the agents on the ground in India – was handled brilliantly. An absolutely first-class service all round!
- Matthew Annable, Rajasthan, India
Getting to Amanpulo from Manila was very simple and the beach was the most beautiful I’d ever been on; pristine white sand, not a single piece of rubbish in sight. You get your own solar powered golf buggy to drive around resort (and a butler at request). The views from the Hillside Casita were spectacular!
- Mr Wyburd, Philippines
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
