Nuwara Eliya + tea plantations
Description:
Waterfalls, mountains, countless tea plantations and truly English architecture are Nuwara Eliya, or the City of Light.
This resort is located at the foot of the highest mountain of Sri Lanka - Pidurutalagala at an altitude of 1884 km above sea level. It was built in the 18th century by the British to enjoy the mild climate and picturesque landscapes away from the coastal heat. Tiny roofs of houses, an English church, a clock tower for 150 years turn the Sri Lankan city into "Little England".
Modern Elia is rich in luxury hotels, golf courses, racetrack, discos. In the center of the city is the Victoria Park. To the south is Lake Gregory.
I will select for you a hotel of the desired price category - from budget to fashionable.
30 km from Nuwara Eliya is the Horton Plains National Reserve, a plateau at an altitude of 2,100 meters. Hence the whole of Sri Lanka – lakes, mountains, Adam’s Peak, and in good weather even the ocean – as in the palm of your hand.
