Nuwara Eliya & Hill Country

Set at 1,868 metres, Nuwara Eliya — “Little England” — is a cool, green retreat of colonial bungalows, manicured gardens and rolling tea plantations picked by hand across emerald hillsides.

The highland railway from Kandy to Ella is regularly voted the most beautiful train journey in the world, winding past waterfalls, tunnels and endless tea country.
