Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka: tea plantations, amazing views, fantastic landscapes

Описание: Nuwara Eliya is a charming hill town tucked high in Sri Lanka’s central highlands, often called “Little England.” At around 1,800 metres above sea level, it feels worlds away from the island’s tropical heat—cool, misty, and refreshingly green.

The town is known for its rolling tea plantations, where neatly trimmed emerald slopes stretch as far as the eye can see. Early mornings are wrapped in fog, and the air smells faintly of tea leaves and pine. British colonial influence is everywhere: half-timbered cottages, rose gardens, red-brick post offices, and manicured lawns give the place an old-world elegance.

At the heart of the town lies Gregory Lake, a peaceful spot for boat rides and evening strolls, while nearby Hakgala Botanical Gardens burst with colourful flowers, especially in the cooler months. Waterfalls tumble down surrounding hills, adding to the area’s quiet beauty.

Nuwara Eliya is also Sri Lanka’s tea capital, home to famous estates and factories where visitors can learn how Ceylon tea is made—from leaf to cup. The climate supports strawberries, fresh vegetables, and flowers rarely found elsewhere in the country.

Calm, scenic, and slightly nostalgic, Nuwara Eliya offers a gentle, romantic escape—perfect for travellers seeking cool weather, natural beauty, and a slower pace of life amid the clouds. 🌿🍃
