Adisham Bungalow Gallery
Where colonial elegance meets mountain serenity
Nestled in the misty hills of Haputale, just an hour from Ella, the Adisham Bungalow is one of Sri Lanka’s most charming colonial landmarks. Built in the early 1930s by Sir Thomas Villiers, a British planter, this stunning mansion mirrors the architecture of an English country house.
Today, it serves as the Adisham Monastery, managed by Benedictine monks. Visitors can explore the preserved living quarters, the small museum, and the peaceful gardens filled with blooming flowers, fruit trees, and birdsong.
Surrounded by tea plantations and cool mountain air, Adisham Bungalow offers a glimpse into Sri Lanka’s colonial history and a tranquil retreat from the busy world.
Visiting Adisham Bungalow is like stepping into a different time. The winding drive through tea-covered hills leads to the stately English manor surrounded by serene gardens. Inside, you’ll find polished wood interiors, stone fireplaces, and family portraits that tell stories of Ceylon’s colonial past.
Outside, stroll through lush gardens or sit by the hillside overlooking the valleys of Haputale. It’s a perfect spot for photography, reflection, and a touch of history — all in one destination.
Join Ella City Tour and experience the colonial charm and peace of Adisham Bungalow — a must-visit for culture, history, and nature lovers.
