Dias Rest AKA The White Monkey Guest House: Stuuning Spot - Lovely Family, Haputale

Amarasinghe guesthouse: Amarasinghe: as good as it get, Haputale

 Maxus Says:  Probably the best night's sleep I've had anywhere in Sri Lanka. Spotlessly clean, friendly but unobtrusive, good food (varied menu) and it’s not expensive either, if you’ve spent the day in the hills or on the train and need some comfort it’s got to be Amarasinghe. One of...

Diyaluma falls, Haputale

 hydronetta Says:  Diyaluma falls are the second largest in Sri Lanka. Their height is 220m and the water is falling from a narrow single slender cascade forming as soon as it reaches the ground numerous pools with fresh water. It's a relaxing short visit and while you're travelling around in...
