• Dambatenne Tea Factory - This historic tea factory was established by the renowned British tea pioneer Sir Thomas Lipton in the late 1800s. Currently, it operates as one of the production centers for Lipton Tea. Visitors can enjoy a one-hour tour of the factory to learn about the tea production process. Additionally, there is an opportunity to savor a hot cup of tea or purchase fresh tea leaves directly from the factory.
• Lipton’s Seat - For those seeking breathtaking views or photographers aiming to capture nature’s beauty, Lipton’s Seat is best visited early in the morning before sunrise. The transformation of colors as the sun rises, with the mist retreating to reveal a lush landscape of greens and browns, is truly spectacular. Visitors may also spot tea pluckers with baskets heading to work. However, for those who prefer a later start, arriving at the hilltop before 10 am should still provide a clear view.

Visiting Lipton’s Seat is free for everyone, unlike World’s End, which requires an entry fee. Along the way, there are additional attractions such as Catherine’s Seat and Lemathota waterfall. Catherine’s Seat, located in the Nayabedda estate, offers a stunning view of Bandarawela, Diyatalawa, and the Uva valley extending to the Namunukula mountain range. Lemathota waterfall is situated on the Dambatenna route, though it is not a major attraction.

• St Benedict’s Monastery - Adisham - Adisham Hall, also known as Adisham Bungalow, is a country house near Haputale in the Badulla District, Sri Lanka. It currently serves as the Adisham Monastery, a congregation of St. Sylvester.

The house was constructed in 1931 by English aristocrat and planter Sir Thomas Villiers, former Chairman of George Steuart Co, a trading and estate agency in Colombo. Sir Thomas was a grandson of Lord John Russell and a descendant of the Dukes of Bedford. Designed by R. Booth and F. Webster in Tudor and Jacobean style, it spans 10 acres (40,000 m2) of land. Adisham Hall hosted many notable figures of the colony until Sir Thomas’s retirement, after which it was sold to Sedawatte Mills. In 1961, it was acquired by the Roman Catholic Church and converted into a monastery. The house is well-preserved with its original fittings and furniture and is open to visitors.
