About Nuwara Eliya (Tea Country)

N uwara Eliya, nicknamed 'Little England,' is a mountain town known for its cool climate, colonial heritage, and rolling tea plantations. At nearly 1,900m elevation, it offers a refreshing escape of misty hills and English-style gardens. Manicured hedges and Tudor-style bungalows speak to its British planter history, while the surrounding landscape is carpeted with emerald-green tea bushes. A visit here isn't complete without touring a tea estate - watch tea pluckers in action and sip pure Ceylon tea at source.
