Castlereagh Reservoir: Sri Lanka’s Most Beautiful Secret Lake

Описание: Imagine a turquoise lake surrounded by endless hills of emerald green tea... Welcome to paradise!"

In this video, we take you to the breathtaking Castlereagh Reservoir, located in the heart of the Hatton tea country. Often described as one of the most serene and picturesque spots in Sri Lanka, this reservoir features stunning aquamarine waters that look like they belong in the Swiss Alps or the Maldives.

Surrounded by world-famous tea estates like Dunkeld and Castlereagh, the area is famous for its cool climate, morning mists, and the iconic Warleigh Church—a beautiful old British stone church overlooking the water. Whether you’re arriving by the famous blue train to Hatton or landing on the water via a seaplane, Castlereagh is a destination that will leave you speechless.

The Colors: The contrast between the deep turquoise water and the bright green tea bushes is a photographer's dream.
