About Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya sits at around 1,900 metres in the heart of tea country, and its cool climate and colonial buildings earned it the nickname “Little England”. It is the base for Horton Plains and World’s End, tea factory visits and, in season, the night climb up Adam’s Peak.
Bring a warm layer: evenings and early mornings are chilly all year. Nanu Oya station, just outside town, is where the scenic train to Ella starts in 2026.
