An observation point of which the view rivals that of the World’s End, Lipton Seat is one of Sri Lanka’s famous attractions perched upon the Poonagala hills. The hike up is tedious but never fear as there are plenty of Sri Lanka hotels located around in which you can rest your tired limbs. One of the most recommended Nuwara Eliya hotels would be the Heritance Tea Factory, designed to combine the natural charm of the area with modern convenience. It is said that the Lipton’s Seat was the lookout post of Sir Thomas Lipton who liked to survey the surrounding region of his tea plantation. On a clear day, the visitors can view as much as five provinces from here while the sight of the shadows of the clouds reflecting upon the rolling valleys below has enchanted many a visitor over the years.
