About

Nuwara Eliya is one of Sri Lanka’s most charming hill-country destinations, famous for its cool climate, rolling tea plantations, misty mountains, beautiful waterfalls and colonial-era architecture. Situated approximately 1,868 metres (6,128 feet) above sea level, it is often called “Little England” because of its British colonial heritage and distinctive old-world charm.
