描述
Discover the colonial history of Nuwara Eliya on a guided tour. Visit the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, a racecourse, Victoria Park, and a tea factory.
Explore the charming town of Nuwara Eliya, known as "Little England," on a full-day tour from Kandy. Visit the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, the racecourse, and Victoria Park. Discover the town's history and see the tea plantations that have made it famous.
Depart from Kandy and travel to Nuwara Eliya, a town that was Sri Lanka's highest town and a favored hill station during British colonial times. The town is still referred to as "Little England," a perception maintained by the presence of the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, a racecourse, Victoria Park, and excellent trout fishing in nearby lakes and rivers.
Experience the cooler climate in Nuwara Eliya compared to the lowlands of Sri Lanka, with a mean annual temperature of 16 °C. But the temperature fluctuates, and sometimes it can be as low as 3°C. It is pretty cold at night in the winter, and there can even be frost. Although it rapidly warms up as the tropical sun climbs higher during the day.
Among the most iconic vistas of Nuwara Eliya are the rolling estates with their vast swathes of terrain carpeted in an emerald sea. The bushes are tended by women draped in colorful saris, resembling butterflies as they work, deftly picking just two leaves and a bud from each branch and tossing them into baskets slung on their backs.
Tea was introduced to the island by the British in the late 19th century, proving vital to the economy. Some of the world's finest tea is produced in the hill country. A visit to a factory allows observation of how they are plucked, dried, crushed, fermented, and fired using machinery that has remained unchanged since Victorian times.
Nuwara Eliya comes alive in April for the Sinhalese and Tamil New Year, and accommodation is challenging to find as Sri Lankans holiday in the region during this period. The festive "Nuwara Eliya Season" starts on April 1 annually in a proper manner.
The town's attractions include the golf course, trout streams, Nuwara Eliya Victoria Park, and boating or fishing on Lake Gregory. Victoria Park is an attractive and well-used oasis. It is popular with birdwatchers at quieter times because of the good opportunities it gives to see various species, particularly the Indian Blue Robin, Pied Thrush, or Scaly Thrush lurking in the denser undergrowth.
Galway's Land Bird Sanctuary, close to Lake Gregory, is another wildlife site of 0.6 km². Nuwara Eliya is a base for visits to Horton Plains National Park. This is a key wildlife area of an open grassy woodland. Species include the Leopard, Sambar, and the endemic Purple-faced Langur. Endemic highland birds include the Dull-blue Flycatcher, Sri Lanka White-eye, and Yellow-eared Bulbul.
The plains also have a well-visited tourist attraction at World's End, a sheer precipice with a 1050 m drop. The return walk passes the scenic Baker Falls. Early morning visits are best to see the wildlife and view World's End before mists close in during the morning.
