Located in Sri Lanka’s Central Highlands, Hatton is a town in the Nuwara Eliya District and a major centre of the country’s tea industry. Surrounding hills are covered in neatly planted tea bushes, with mountain views, waterfalls and opportunities to spot local birdlife. Visitors can tour tea estates and factories to learn about Ceylon tea production, visit the historic Warleigh Church and enjoy views across Castlereagh Reservoir. Hatton is also a gateway to Adam’s Peak, a prominent mountain known for its challenging ascent and sunrise views. Further afield, Horton Plains National Park offers walking trails through montane grasslands and cloud forests, with highlights including the dramatic World’s End escarpment and Baker’s Falls. The park forms part of the UNESCO-listed Central Highlands of Sri Lanka, recognised for its exceptional biodiversity.
