Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, Nuwara Eliya is a cool mountain retreat. Its cool climate is perfect for escaping the heat of Colombo. With an altitude of 1868 m, the views of this ‘city’ are some of the best you can find in Sri Lanka. The city itself is small and quaint. Locals refer to it as ‘Little England’ and it isn’t hard to see why. The colonial architecture and Victorian style leisure park, act as reminders of Sri Lanka’s past. While the rural surroundings give visitors the impression of being in the middle of nowhere, the city itself feels familiar with tea shops and grand hotels.<\/p>\n

With a range of stunning villas<\/a> available in the surrounding Hill Country, visitors can explore the natural wonders and sample the locally grown tea. Waterfalls, look out points, tea plantations and nature reserves are\u00a0all a short tuk-tuk ride away, offering plenty to entertain families and nature lovers alike.<\/p>\n
