We are planning to hike from the Dambatenne Tea Factory up to Lipton Seat. Is the path obvious, and can we walk directly through the tea bushes.

The path is a single, paved zigzag road that goes all the way to the top. It is impossible to get lost. Do NOT walk directly through the tea bushes to take shortcuts. It damages the crops, and more importantly, the bushes are full of leeches and occasionally snakes. Stick to the paved road, the views are incredible the whole way up.

Make sure to get there before 9 AM, otherwise the mist completely blocks the famous view.

If you get tired, local tuk-tuks constantly drive up and down that road. You can flag one down halfway.
