Nuwara Eliya is a misty, flower-filled town that the British colonial planters styled after an English country village, earning it the nickname ‘Little England’. The town is surrounded by photogenic tea estates, with the famous Pedro and Mackwoods estates offering guided tours that bring the tea production process to life. Gregory Lake at the town’s edge is a beautiful focal point for strolls and boat rides, while the colonial-era club, post office and race course give Nuwara Eliya an eccentric character entirely its own.
