Nuwara Eliya

Cool misty highlands, a stand-in photo for Nuwara Eliya until an original image is added.

Stage 10 ends toward Horton Plains, stage 11 crosses the plains toward Udaweriya, and stage 12 continues to Haputale. Kirigalpotta is a separate park trail, not a Pekoe stage. Pack a warm layer even if Kandy felt hot the day before.

Questions

Are Horton Plains tickets included?

Park entrance is listed in the includes only when that tour page says so. On days where it is excluded, we tell you the current ticket price before you walk.
