Location

Nuwara Eliya, nestled beneath Sri Lanka’s loftiest peak, Pidurutalagala Mountain, is a market town reminiscent of “Little England,” tracing its origins to British tea planters in the mid-19th century. Maintaining its colonial allure, the town showcases heritage structures like the Post Office and hosts occasional events at the Nuwara Eliya Race Course. Beyond tea production, Nuwara Eliya unfolds as Sri Lanka’s garden city, surrounded by terraced vegetable plots yielding leeks, carrots, and beans for the island.

This prime milk-producing region, exemplified by Ambewela’s mist-kissed pastures, hosts Friesian herds. Notable attractions include Hakgala Botanical Gardens and the Sita Eliya Hindu Kovil, encapsulating the town’s blend of history, agriculture, and natural beauty. Nuwara Eliya invites visitors to immerse themselves in its rich past and flourishing landscapes, bridging the gap between its colonial legacy and contemporary vibrancy.
