Haputale, Hill Country

Thotalagala Heritage Bungalow

A restored 1880 planter's bungalow above Lipton's Seat.

Our verdict

Thotalagala is the most cinematic colonial bungalow in Haputale — seven suites in a restored 1880 planter's residence on the edge of the Dambatenne tea estate, fifteen minutes' walk from Lipton's Seat. Fully staffed, all meals included. The closest in spirit to Tea Trails, at half the price.
