Lipton's Seat is one of the most popular attractions in Haputale and it is a grueling seven hours from Colombo in your own vehicle. Located an hour away from Haputale town, Lipton's Seat is a viewpoint named after the celebrated Thomas Lipton. He was a Scottish businessman who moved to British Ceylon in 1890, where he met James Taylor and together they introduced tea gardens to the country.
Lipton's Seat is a high observation point in the hills of Poonagala. Located on the top of the town's namesake, Poonagala Hill, it is also near the Dambatenne Tea Factory. You reached by climbing for around 7km surrounded by peaceful green tea plantations and an occasional colorful tea plucker. From Lipton's Seat the Uva, Sabaragamuwa, Central and Eastern provinces spread out from before the feet of the viewer in a display rivaling that of the famed World's End observation point. Visible from the hilltop are 7 provinces along with sights such as Handapanagala Lake, Chandrika Lake, Udawalawe Lake, Wedihitikanda Mountains, and even the Hambanthota harbor from the Southern coast
