Nuwara Eliya

A trip to Sri Lanka wouldn’t be complete without visiting Nuwara Eliya, a city in the hill country best known for its temperate climate, vast table lands and scenic landscape. It is located at an altitude of 1,868 metres (6,128 feet) and is considered the most important site for Sri Lanka’s tea industry.

Often called “Little England”, Nuwara Eliya features buildings from the British colonial period like the Queen’s Cottage, General’s House, Grand Hotel, Hill Club and more structures reminiscent of the old colonial days. Even private homes still have their old English-style lawns and gardens. This picturesque town is just one of the many reasons why you need to visit Sri Lanka.
