Nuwara Eliya — Hill Country Tea Estates & Colonial Charm

Nuwara Eliya, often called "Little England," sits high in Sri Lanka's central highlands and is famed for its cool climate, rolling tea plantations and colonial-era architecture. The town offers crisp mountain air, manicured gardens and a slower pace that contrasts sharply with the tropical lowlands.

Popular activities include touring working tea estates and factories, visiting Horton Plains and World's End, strolling around Gregory Lake, exploring Victoria Park, and sampling fresh strawberries from local farms. The region is ideal for scenic train journeys through misty hills and for experiencing Sri Lanka's hill-country culture.
