Nuwara Eliya
Cool climate, tea estates and colonial charm
06.9497° N · 80.7891° E
Known as 'Little England', Nuwara Eliya sits among rolling tea plantations with a cool climate, colonial bungalows and pretty Gregory Lake.
At around 1,900 metres above sea level, Nuwara Eliya is the heart of Sri Lanka's tea country. Visit a working tea factory to learn how Ceylon tea is made, then enjoy a cup overlooking endless green hills.
Walk around Gregory Lake, admire the colonial architecture and, for keen hikers, take an early-morning trip to Horton Plains National Park and World's End.
