About

About Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya sits high in the central hills and is known as the “Tea Land of Sri Lanka”. Its cool, misty climate, rolling tea estates and British-era architecture give it the nickname “Little England”.

The journey itself is a highlight, with tea plantations, tea factories and waterfalls along the way. In town you can visit Gregory Lake, the Hakgala Botanical Gardens, Victoria Park and strawberry farms, or ride a horse around the lake.
