Experience Nuwara Eliya’s colonial charm, complete with Tudor-style hotels and lush tea plantations, all set against a backdrop of misty mountains and beautiful gardens.

Nuwara Eliya (Sinhala: නුවර එළිය; Tamil: நுவரெலியா) is a charming city nestled in the hill country of Sri Lanka’s Central Province, at an altitude of 1,868 meters (6,128 feet). Known as the "city on the plain" or "city of light," Nuwara Eliya offers a picturesque landscape, a temperate climate, and is considered the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea industry.

Often referred to as ‘Little England,’ Nuwara Eliya exudes a nostalgic British-country-village charm with colonial-era bungalows, Tudor-style hotels, and neatly tended gardens. Once a favored cool-climate escape for British tea pioneers, the town remains a peaceful retreat. The surrounding lush tea estates, misty mountains, winding roads, waterfalls, and rose gardens make Nuwara Eliya an idyllic vacation destination, perfect for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility.
