Nuwara Eliya, nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's central highlands, is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, cool climate, colonial heritage and architecture, and world-famous Ceylon Tea. Once a simple town, it was transformed into 'Little England' by the British as it bore a strong semblance to the English countryside. This charming town embraces its colonial history while also shrouding itself in intriguing Sri Lankan legends. Offering a diverse range of experiences for all types of travellers, Nuwara Eliya is best explored from December to May, as thundershowers become more common thereafter.
