Overview: Nuwara Eliya is a mountain station at 6,128 ft set in a splendid landscape. Built during the 19th century, its architecture mimics that of an English country town, with colonial manors and mock Tudor country houses. It has prime golf courses, elite horse racing, the enchanting Haggala Gardens and the wonderful Horton Plains. Visit the very first tea factory - Mackwoods Labookelli Tea Factory. Labookelli Tea Centre offers a free tour of the factory and also runs a sales outlet and a restaurant there. See some of the waterfalls around Nuwara Eliya like Lovers Leap Falls, Glen Falls, Devon Falls and St. Claire's Falls. Nuwara Eliya is blessed with salubrious climate, breathtaking views of valleys, meadows, mountains and greenery.
Overview: See a spectacular sun rise from Adam's Peak, at 2200m above sea level. It is a pilgrimage spot sacred to major religions. However, it is an exhausting 7 km trek up the mountain. The season is between December and April when the summit is not misty and relatively dry. The base of the climb on the Hatton side is about 2 hours from Nuwara Eliya.
