Your transfer to Heritance Tea Factory

Heritance Tea Factory is in Kandapola, 165 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 5 hours in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Nuwara Eliya. Heritance Tea Factory is about 6 kilometres north-east of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Nuwara Eliya; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It is on the far side of Nuwara Eliya from the airport, about 3 kilometres beyond the centre in a straight line, so the drive in finishes by crossing the city rather than stopping short of it.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Heritance Tea Factory is about 106 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 165 kilometres the road actually covers.

Day trips from Heritance Tea Factory

  • Nuwara Eliya & the tea estates — about 6 km away in a straight line. Tea country at 1,900 m — working estates, factory tours, Gregory Lake and a climate that surprises people. Allow a full day, or stay overnight.
  • Horton Plains & World's End — about 21 km away in a straight line. High plateau grassland at 2,100 m, and a cliff that drops away nearly a kilometre. A 9 km loop walk. Allow 4–5 hours.
  • Nine Arch Bridge, Ella — about 29 km away in a straight line. A colonial-era viaduct on the hill railway, in the jungle below Ella. Free, and busiest when a train is due. Allow 1–2 hours.
  • Ravana Falls — about 30 km away in a straight line. A wide fall right beside the Ella to Wellawaya road, named for the king who is said to have hidden Sita in the caves above it. Allow an hour.
  • Liptons Seat — about 30 km away in a straight line. The lookout where Thomas Lipton surveyed his estates, reached through tea fields above Haputale. On a clear morning the view runs to the south coast. Allow a morning, and go at dawn.

Onward from Nuwara Eliya

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Heritance Tea Factory is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 5 hr back to that.
