Hundungoda Tea Estate, Unawatuna Sri Lanka

Driving the long winding road, into the countryside, one is greeted by the real rural life that is a majority of Sri Lanka. The immersive beauty is captured easily just a few miles outside the bustling tourist zones. No longer does one see the dread-locked european tourist whose money has run out, or the barefooted “adventurer” who lives, eats, sleeps, and operates out of the hotel and bars. No, the real Sri Lanka begins just outside the tourist zones. Check out the life outside the hotel resorts and a stop should include a visit to a tea plantation.
