Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka
A cool, green highland town surrounded by rolling tea estates, misty valleys, waterfalls, and English colonial character.
About Nuwara Eliya - Sri Lanka's Tea Country
Nuwara Eliya sits high in Sri Lanka's central mountains, where crisp air, neatly planted tea hills, and frequent mist create a landscape unlike the tropical coast. The town is a rewarding stop between Kandy and Ella, especially for travellers who enjoy slow scenery and plantation culture.
Visit a working tea factory, walk around Gregory Lake, explore Victoria Park, and make time for nearby waterfalls and viewpoints. The highland climate also makes Nuwara Eliya a refreshing place to rest during a longer island journey.
