The Oodoowera Tea Estate lies in the Badulla District
along the A-16 Beragala-Haliella road. (Colombo-Badulla Road) This Tea Estate
lies at 769 – 1,219 meters above the sea level. The Oodoowera Tea Factory lies
1,219 meters above the mean sea level and offers spectacular 280 view.
The remnants of the aerial cable-way line can still be
found in the factory premises. The cable-way had been built on four metal poles
on a concrete base. Four metal cycles were fixed to it and two metal cycles
were connected to the cables. When the bags are fixed to the cable on a higher
elevation point, due to gravity and a little push, the bags are transported to
the lower elevation as well as between two mountains very easily.
Also one can get a spectacular view of the Demodara
Railway Loop from the Tea Estate.
