Cabbage plantations in Nuwara Eliya. Nuwara Eliya is a tiny cozy city located in Central Sri Lanka. Majority of Sri Lanka’s vegetables are grown in Nuwara Eliya thanks to the low temperatures (11 - 18 degrees on average). Not to forget, the famous Sri Lankan tea too come from the hills of Nuwara Eliya and suburbs. #LifeatExpedia

Our host, Sanjaya, provided a warm welcome. Literally as he brought a portable heater into our room as the weather took a chilly turn. Great staff who could not have been more helpful with suggestions and with an umbrella! Breakfast was good too.

Popular places to visit

The road from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya is full of turns, deceptively long and passes some of the largest tea plantations in the world. Truth be told, driving anywhere in the hill country of Sri Lanka is an exercise in patience given that even short distances can take hours due to slow moving traffic, poor weather or less than desirable roads. Better then to sit back and enjoy the ride while stopping for the occasional picture.
