Overview
If you are a nature lover and want to experience something more than what you want to experience from a resort closer to Kandy, this will be a great opportunity for you. You will enjoy the adventure with stunning views and quiet tranquility in surroundings of a tea and spice plantation of a former English planter who nurtured a forest patch (Simpson’s Forest) bordering the plantation.
