Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya

Little England of Sri Lanka

Overview

Blessed with lush forestlands, where emerald canopies whisper in the breeze and nature thrives in serene abundance, misty meadows and rows of vibrant green tea hills and tranquil regions that have refreshingly cold and pleasant weather all year round, usually anywhere between 10–20 degrees celcius; Nuwara Eliya was the ideal place for the British colonists to escape from the tropical sun and to relax and unwind in peace.

Today, even after they have left, the city retains its colonial charm with buildings of Victorian times and landscaped gardens. You could enjoy an exhilarating game of golf at the renowned Nuwara Eliya golf club which dates back to 1889. Take a stroll in the botanical garden of Haggala, hike up the hills surrounded by panoramic vistas. From Lovers Leap Waterfall to St Clair's Falls, Nuwara Eliya is home to a host of beautiful waterfalls!
