Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya, often called “Little England,” is a charming hill country retreat nestled in the central highlands of Sri Lanka.

Surrounded by lush tea plantations, misty mountains, and cascading waterfalls, Nuwara Eliya is the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea country. Whether it’s sipping a freshly brewed cup of Ceylon tea, strolling through flower-filled parks, or exploring nearby hills, Nuwara Eliya is a perfect blend of natural beauty and colonial heritage.
