What to do in Hill Country

Whether you call it the Tea or Hill Country, both names sum up the allure of this lush, blissfully cool region. Make the classic train journey (or go by car for a quicker ETA) through hills covered in shamrock-green tea plants, past shimmering lakes and towering peaks with their own fascinating story. There's plenty of exploring to be done on foot, whether it's on a leaf-to-cup tour of a tea farm, picturesque hiking trail into the forests or mountains, or wildlife spotting in the highlands. And there's always time to marvel at the view over a cuppa…

Tea plantations

Peace incarnate awaits amongst the leaves
Lush and tranquil, the tea plantations of the Indian Subcontinent are far more than economical. A visit to one of these shamrock-green beauty spots offers the chance to learn all about the leaf-to-mug tea making process, from picking to classification. What’s more, the surrounding regions are scenic to say the least and after you’re done with your morning cuppa, there are plenty of opportunities for hikes, train rides and boating excursions. Or simply pop your feet up and enjoy the views...

Railway journeys

All aboard – and cameras at the ready
There’s something really very special about travelling by train, the gentle hum of the engine the soundtrack to staggering, ever-changing scenery. It’s also a seamless and stress-free way of getting from A to B, soaking up the views at your leisure. Whether it’s a train ride to the gateway of Machu Picchu, a pretty trundle through Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, or a multi-day route across the plains of southern Africa, rail travel invites you to slow down and soak it all in. Bonus points for the snack trolley.

Hiking

Oh the places you’ll go!
Is there a better way to get a feel for a new destination than exploring on foot? We think not! Walking (or hiking) offers the chance to venture off the beaten track and enjoy sights the likes of which you might not normally see. From trekking along the Inca Trail towards Peru’s Machu Picchu to wandering beneath the spires of Torres del Paine, roaming between Berber villages in the Atlas Mountains or hiking up the iconic Table Mountain, the adventure never stops when you’ve laced up your boots and left the crowds behind.
