Explore the Dambatenne countryside that takes you past green fields and a tea Plantations and gives you a chance to see traditional life in the area.

Dambatenne Tea factory 

This popular tea factory was built in 1890 by Sir Thomas Lipton, one of the most famous figures in tea history. The tour through the works is an education on the processes involved in the fermentation, rolling, drying, cutting, sieving and grading of tea. It's probably the most comprehensive tea-factory tour around, and afterwards you can sip a cup.

On Sundays no processing takes place, so there's little to see.

Lipton Seat

The Lipton’s Seat lookout is one of Sri Lanka's most impressive viewpoints (unless it's misty and cloudy of course, which is why early morning is the best time to visit). The Scottish tea baron Sir Thomas Lipton used to survey his burgeoning empire from here, and today it's said you can see across emerald hills and tea estates to no fewer than seven different provinces.

Once you completed your tour you will be return back to your Hotel in Ella.
