Great viewpoints accessible without difficult or long hikes?
I want beautiful views but I'm not up for strenuous climbing every day. Any easy-access spots?
3 Answers from travellers
Many great viewpoints are accessible by road or very short walks: Lipton's Seat (short walk or drive up), some tea estate viewpoints near Nuwara Eliya and Ella, the ramparts of Galle Fort, certain reservoirs with viewing areas, and some hotel/guesthouse rooftops or gardens with panoramic views. You can also do short tuk-tuk or taxi rides to high points. Many 'hikes' have easy versions or viewpoints you can reach with minimal effort. Ask locally for the best easy options near where you're staying.
Will look for places with built-in views rather than needing to hike for them.
Many boutique hotels and tea bungalows are built on hills with incredible views from the property itself. You don't even need to hike.
