Here, where the air is crisp and cool, the aroma of fresh tea leaves permeates the atmosphere. Local markets burst with the vibrant colors and exotic scents of fresh produce. Nuwara Eliya is a haven of serene beauty, a testament to the confluence of Sri Lanka's rich natural bounty and enduring colonial heritage.
Nuwara Eliya, known as "Little England," is situated in the heart of Sri Lanka's tea country. Visit a tea plantation to learn about the cultivation, plucking, and processing of the world-famous Ceylon tea. Explore the lush, rolling tea estates, meet tea pluckers, and tour a tea factory to witness the production process. Don't forget to sample a variety of teas while enjoying the picturesque landscape.
