Just three hours' drive from Colombo, Castlereagh Lake lies in the Bogawantalawa Valley. It is known as the Golden Valley of Tea and home to old Ceylon.
Rolling green hills, plantation bungalows and high tea at 1200 metres are reminiscent of the days of the Raj. It is the most beautiful part of Sri Lanka with views of mountain ranges and ravines, winding roads and waterfalls. Adam's Peak at 2250 metres may be the country's second highest peak, but is number one in cultural importance.
If you find a Tamil restaurant, the food will be similar to Indian. Sinhalese cuisine is somewhat different. If you enjoy Tandoori or Indian cuisine, you are very likely to like the Sinhalese cuisine.
