Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya, often called 'Little England,' sits at an elevation of 1,868 meters in the heart of Sri Lanka's tea country. The town retains a distinctly British colonial feel with its Tudor-style buildings, well-manicured gardens, and a cool climate rarely found elsewhere on the tropical island. It's surrounded by tea plantations as far as the eye can see, and visiting a working tea factory is a must-do experience. Gregory Lake offers boating and lakeside walks, while Horton Plains National Park—home to the famous World's End cliff with a 880-meter sheer drop—is just a short drive away.
