Nuwara Eliya is off-the-beaten track for Sri Lanka as it is far from the coastline and away from the beaches. This hilly paradise is home to the gorgeous reservoir, Lake Gregory, with panoramic vistas and the play of sunlight on its surface. Take a hike to Lover’s Leap Waterfall for views across tea plantations. There are plenty of scenic views to witness and nature walks to complete at Nuwara Eliya.
