Known as 'Little England,' Nuwara Eliya offers a temperate climate and attractions such as golfing, trout fishing, boating on Lake Gregory, and bird watching in Victoria Park. In the evening, explore "Little England" with its mock Tudor and Georgian architecture, including the St Andrews hotel and Hill Club. Visit Lake Gregory, the bustling town center with a vibrant market, and tour a Tea Factory to learn about the tea manufacturing process, providing a comprehensive glimpse into Nuwara Eliya's unique blend of history, nature, and culture.
