About Nuwara

About Nuwara Eliya

At almost 1,900 metres, Nuwara Eliya feels cooler and slower. Colonial bungalows, a racecourse and rose gardens sit among some of the finest tea estates in the world.

Visit a working tea factory, taste fresh Ceylon tea where it is grown, and walk Horton Plains to World's End, where the land drops away almost 900 metres.
