What to do in Nuwara Eliya

With a breath of mountain-fresh air, Nuwara Eliya provides a respite from Sri Lanka's sticky coast. Have a nosy round the main town, where croquet lawns, tea estates and grand houses all sit just as they did 150 years ago. If you don't fancy venturing too far from your comfortable abode, do a little bird watching in Victoria Park, admire the orchids at the ancient Hakgala Botanical Gardens, wander through local tea fields or simply let the tranquil atmosphere soak in. Explore the natural surrounds, standing beneath the beautiful Aberdeen Falls or searching for elephant, sambar deer and giant squirrels in Horton Plains National Park before arriving at World's End - we'll leave that to your imagination…
