About The Destination
Often referred to as 'Little England' due to its cool climate, colonial-era bungalows, and English country-style gardens, Nuwara Eliya is the heart of Sri Lanka's tea-growing highlands. Situated at an elevation of 1,868 meters, it offers a stark contrast to the tropical lowlands. The city is surrounded by endless hills of bright green tea estates, cascading waterfalls, and misty peaks. Nuwara Eliya is home to the scenic Gregory Lake, the historic Hill Club, and one of Asia's oldest golf courses, making it a peaceful mountain retreat.
