Airport to Passara: what to expect
Five and a half hours from the terminal, out past Bandarawela and Badulla into the eastern hill country. Passara is a small tea town surrounded by estates, where the highlands begin to drop away towards the eastern plains.
Almost nothing here is set up for visitors, which is the appeal for a certain kind of traveller. The roads run through estates and cloud forest with very little traffic, and there are views east over country most itineraries never reach.
