Mountainous City Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya, often called "Little England", is a charming hill station in Sri Lanka, located about 170 km from Colombo. Nestled at an elevation of 1,868 meters, it is known for its cool climate, misty landscapes, and lush greenery, making it a refreshing retreat from the tropical lowlands. Travelers can explore tea plantations and visit tea factories to learn about Sri Lanka’s world-famous Ceylon tea production. The picturesque Gregory Lake is ideal for boat rides and picnics, while the Hakgala Botanical Garden offers a delightful display of flora. The colonial-era architecture, including the iconic Grand Hotel, adds to the town's nostalgic charm.

It’s perfect for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and those seeking tranquility.
