Known as “Little England,” Nuwara Eliya is a charming highland town with colonial buildings, rose gardens, and cool mountain air. Nestled in Sri Lanka’s tea country, it’s surrounded by lush plantations and beautiful waterfalls. Once a favorite retreat for British colonials, today it’s a scenic escape for locals and travelers alike. Popular sites include Gregory Lake, Hakgala Botanical Gardens, and numerous tea estates. The April season transforms the city into a festive paradise with flower shows, horse races, and street fairs.
