Hatton

by mafi_moya

The scenery around the small town of Hatton is some of the most breathtaking in the whole of the hill country. The Hatton-Dikoya region is one of endless tea plantations, thousands of shades of brilliant green, and the Mahaweli river winding its way through the beautiful valleys.

It also makes a good starting point for trekkers of Adam's Peak. Unfortunately there are only a few places to stay or eat - none of them much good. It's enough to stop for a few hours to try the tea and appreciate the stunning views.
