Holidays To Nuwara Eliya · Asia
Nuwara Eliya
Sri Lanka · 2 nights
This aristocratic highland enclave, known as 'Little England,' has a rose-tinted, vaguely British-country-village feeling, with colonial-era bungalows, Tudor-style hotels, well-kept hedgerows, and attractive gardens. Indeed, Nuwara Eliya was formerly the preferred cool-climate retreat for Sri Lanka's tea industry's hard-working and hard-drinking English and Scottish pioneers. Although a recent construction boom has spoiled the scene, and the dusty and congested city centre is a typical Sri Lankan urban tangle, Nuwara Eliya is still a great place to unwind for a few days. Tea estates meticulously kept vegetable plots, and rugged hills dot the surrounding area, which is lush and beautiful. Spend a stay in one of Nuwara Eliya's colonial hotels, play a round of golf or a few frames of billiards, and take in the town's distinctive past. Around Nuwara Eliya, you'll find mock-Tudor buildings, hills draped in rich green tea plantations, and Horton Plains National Park. Around Nuwara Eliya, you'll find mock-Tudor buildings, hills draped in rich green tea plantations, and Horton Plains National Park. Nuwara Eliya is a green community with a British accent in the heart of Sri Lanka's tea heartland. Tea bushes are beautifully groomed on almost every slope. The mock-Tudor buildings and velvety golf courses harken back to when this was the British's favourite getaway after defeating the Kandyan Kingdom and gaining control of Sri Lanka. The location is less than three hours north of Kandy, and while many people like to travel by rail, we can also arrange for you to travel by automobile, which will allow you to take side trips with time to pause and take in the scenery at your leisure.
