About Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya is Sri Lanka's best-known hill station, a cool town high in the tea country with colonial-style cottages, lakes and gardens.
Nuwara Eliya sits at about 1,900 metres in the central highlands, cool and often misty, with tea-covered slopes rolling out on every side. The British developed it as a retreat from the lowland heat in the nineteenth century, and its Tudor-style cottages, red post box, golf course and Victoria Park have earned it the nickname Little England. Gregory Lake, in the middle of town, is used for boating.
