Ceylon Tea Trails in Dimbula<\/strong><\/h4>

The tea growing district of Dimbula is full of sprawling peaks and slopes that have been cloaked in tea for generations after the arrival of British planters.

Tri Lanka in Galle<\/strong><\/h4>

Galle is another seaside town that is a true gem of Sri Lanka and most well-known for its fort.

Nearby, you will find Koggala Lake, a serene freshwater lagoon that is part of the Galle District. Koggala Lake is bordered by jungles and forests with a landscape full of wildlife. Small islands are dotted throughout the lake and some even have temples to visit.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Tucked away between the lush vegetation on the banks of Koggala Lake is the secret hideaway destination of Tri. Tri Lanka is the country\u2019s first modern, sustainable, luxury-design hotel. The eco-resort is a tranquil hideaway that feels secluded while still being close to the walled city of Galle and some of the best beaches. Tri offers a wide variety of extravagant rooms and suites for their environmentally conscious guests. The Water Tower Rooms are found within the cinnamon-wood covered water tower at the center of Tri Lanka. The Lake Suite is a private villa right on the bank of Lake Koggala. The Lake Villa is a standalone building with incredible views over the lake. The Lake Villa with Pool is similar except you have your own open-air plunge pool to enjoy. Tri-Villa is more spacious and has two terraces and its own plunge pool. Finally, the Family Villa is two separate Lake Villas that are in close proximity and share a plunge pool; perfect for four people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
