Complete Guide to Nuwara Eliya & Ceylon Tea Country
Best: February to May (Dry & Pleasant Climate)
Affectionately dubbed 'Little England', Nuwara Eliya sits at a crisp 1,868 meters above sea level beneath Mount Pidurutalagala, the highest peak in Sri Lanka.
Surrounded by cascading waterfalls and endless valleys of manicured, emerald-green tea plantations, Nuwara Eliya preserves its British colonial heritage through Tudor-style manors, the red-brick Post Office built in 1894, the historic 18-hole golf course, and manicured rose gardens at Victoria Park.
Visiting a functioning tea estate and factory provides an insightful look into how world-famous Ceylon Tea is hand-plucked, rolled, fermented, and graded, culminating in an authentic tasting experience.
