Lipton’s Seat-Haputale


Lipton's Seat lookout in Haputale is a favourite among road-trippers looking for a mountain view vacation. This tea plantation marked the beginning of tea exports from Sri Lanka and if go there on a clear day, it's got an impressive breath-taking view.




                        

The Scottish tea baron Sir Thomas Lipton used to survey his burgeoning empire from here. Lipton’s seat is a panoramic overlooking destination in Sri lanka. Handapanagala lake, Chandrika lake, Uda walwe lake, Wedi hiti Kanda mountains, and also the hambanthota harbor allocated in the in the southern coastal area and five provinces (Uva, Southern, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Eastern) in Sri Lanka can be seen remarkably.

At the top of Lipton’s Seat is now literally an actual seat with a statue of Thomas Lipton on it, with a cup in his hand. Like the Ronald McDonald statue, this statue is just asking for hilarious selfies to be taken with it.
