Is it easy to withdraw cash in the mountains or do we need to bring it from Colombo.

✓Accepted Answer

Haputale is a bustling highly active small mountain town and serves as a major commercial hub for the surrounding massive tea estates. You will absolutely completely easily find several highly reliable modern ATMs operated by major national banks like Commercial Bank and Hatton National Bank located directly on the main street near the railway station. They perfectly flawlessly accept all major international Visa and Mastercards. You absolutely do not need to nervously carry massive stacks of cash all the way from Colombo.
