From Lipton Seat, let's take a look at the beauty of 5 provinces in Sri Lanka

Lipton Seat is another tourist attraction located in the Badulla district. The specialty of this is that you can visit all 5 provinces of Sri Lanka simultaneously. This is indeed a mountain top. Lipton Seat is a narrow ridge that joins three mountain valleys.

There are two routes if you want to go to Lipton Seat. The first and most popular route is the road to Haputale and passes through the Dambetenna tea estate. You can reach this place by traveling about 12 km from Haputale. The other way to get there is through Bandarawela Poonagala Nayabedda. In fact, both roads are extremely scenic. It is often covered with mist in the morning.

This place is also important because it is a testimony to the ancient Sri Lankan tea history. Thomas Lipton is the founder of the Dambetenna Tea Estate. He is said to have started this estate in the late 19^th century. The Dambetenna Estate has 925 acres. The Dambetenna tea factory is also known as the largest tea factory in Sri Lanka. The best black tea in the world was produced in this Dambetenna estate. Today, Lipton is the name of the tea,  produced at this estate.

Lipton Seat is where Thomas Lipton rested. There is a statue of him today. He even had parties with his friends at this time. It is also said that he spent time with young girls.

This spot is visible in the Southern province of Devinuwara and Kirinda Lighthouses as well as in the Lighthouse in Trincomalee. Also seen in the Sabaragamuwa Province are the Samanala Mountains and Eheliyagoda, the Eastern and the Nuwara Eliya regions of the Central Province. But remember that there is nothing to see here on rainy foggy days. Also, staying here on rainy days is dangerous because of lightning. However, if you can get there at 12 noon on sunny days, you can see a spectacular view from here.

There is also a place called Catherine Seat, just a few kilometers away from this place. It is also known as the place where Lipton's wife rested. If you're going to Lipton Seat don't forget to visit Catherine Seat as well.
