Nuwara Eliya

Welcome To Nuwara Eliya

Nuwara Eliya meaning “city on the plain (table land)” or “city of light”, is a town in Sri Lanka. It is located at an altitude of 1,868 m (6,128 ft) in the central highlands and is considered one of the most important locations for Tea production in Sri Lanka. The town is overlooked by Pidurutalagala, the highest mountain in Sri Lanka.

Constructed in 1873 by British Governor Sir William Gregory, Gregory Lake in Nuwara Eliya is a sight for sore eyes! What used to be a bog, Lake Gregory is now a spot for water activities and picnicking. Encompassing the lake is a massive park, which has everything from little boats to scenic views for a romantic evening. Lake Gregory is also a landing strip for seaplanes, which travellers can use to fly directly from Colombo to the park in just 30 minutes. The misty hilltops and the cool yet sunny weather is the perfect setting for a little lovers’ getaway.
