Sri Lanka's Cool Retreat
Often referred to as 'Little England', Nuwara Eliya is a picturesque hill station nestled amidst the misty peaks of Sri Lanka's central highlands. With its colonial-era bungalows, well-tended hedgerows, and pretty rose gardens, it offers a stark atmosphere contrast to the tropical warmth of the coast.
Situated at an elevation of 1,868 meters, this town is the heart of Sri Lanka's tea industry. Endless rolling hills carpeted in lush green tea bushes surround the city, interspersed with cascading waterfalls and misty forests, making it a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a cool escape.
