Church on a hill, Castlereigh, Sri Lanka.

I saw this church built on a hill, surrounded by tea plants on a hill at Castlereigh, Dickoya, Sri Lanka. A remnant of British Colonial days it seems to have been well maintained.

Planter's bungalow built in 1826, Castelereigh, Dickoya, Sri Lanka.

This planters bungalow built in 1826, is now a guest house. It overlooks the Castelreigh Reservoir built in the 1950s to provide hydro-power. The surrounding tea fields are a beauty. Rooms cost Rs.2500/ per day and meals are extra. Lovely country walks and a peaceful environment are guaranteed. I went for a lunch and rest for one day and took this picture.
