Nuwara Eliya Tour
Little England in the mountains
Tour Overview
Nuwara Eliya sits 1,900 meters above sea level and is Sri Lanka's main tea producing area. The British built this town as a hill station to escape the heat - it still has an English countryside feel with old colonial buildings and cool weather. Visit working tea plantations, tour a tea factory to see how the famous Ceylon tea is made, walk through beautiful gardens, and see Gregory Lake. Perfect for tea lovers and anyone who wants to escape tropical heat for a day.
