Nuwara Eliya, in the heart of Ceylon’s tea country, is surrounded by maintained estates that paint the hillsides in vivid green. A visit to a working tea factory with premium tastings is essential. Colonial bungalows, the charming Victoria Park and the picturesque Gregory Lake complete the experience. As a gateway to Horton Plains and the scenic train to Ella, Nuwara Eliya delivers unexpected beauty and highland charm.
