Haputale is a ridge-top town where clouds drift through the main street and the views from the escarpment are among the most spectacular in all of Sri Lanka. On a clear morning, you can see the south coast glittering on one side and the highland tea estates rolling away on the other, a panorama that feels like standing on the edge of the world. Haputale is for those who seek the hill country at its most atmospheric and least crowded.
