Often referred to as “Little England”, Nuwara Eliya is a quaint hill station tucked away in the middle highlands of Sri Lanka. It provides a quiet respite and is well-known for its misty, cold environment and charming tea plantations. Anyone can take a boat ride on scenic Lake Gregory, visit colonial-era architecture, or meander through well-kept gardens like Victoria Park. With factories that provide tours and tastings, the area is the centre of Ceylon tea production.
Beyond the well-travelled routes, Nuwara Eliya has charming hidden gems for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat or a productive area. These lesser-known spots offer unique ambiance away from the usual tourist bustle.
