Tucked away in the misty mountains of Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya provides the perfect escape for couples, families or those travelling solo. Here are a few reasons why you should add this city to your holiday itinerary!
For the Weather
If you want to beat the heat (and the power cuts!), Nuwara Eliya is the ideal place to go to. The average temperature ranges from 11° to 20° Celsius with night times getting quite cold. Tip; bring warm clothing and find accommodation in Nuwara Eliya that offers cosy beds to curl up in!
For Relaxation & Recreation
Nature lovers can head to Victoria Park, which is particularly colourful during the spring season (March to May) when flowers are in full bloom. Enjoy birdwatching at the Galway’s Land National Park, a six minute walk from Galway Heights and plan picnics beside Gregory Lake; one can find paddle boats and horse rides for kids at this lake as well.
For A Laid-back Getaway
Far away from bustling city streets, Nuwara Eliya lets you experience a more slow-paced way of life. Look forward to strolls around town past colonial style bungalows and houses, visit the historic Nuwara Eliya Golf Club and witness horse racing at the local racecourse in April.
For Tea Experiences
Tea plantations can be found along the mountain slopes and taking a tour at one of them offers valuable insights; learn how tea leaves are carefully plucked and then processed, before getting a chance to sample some freshly brewed tea!
