Nuwara Eliya
( The Little England )

 
Nuwara Eliya, often called “Little England,” is a picturesque hill station in Sri Lanka’s Central Province, sitting at 1,868 meters above sea level. Established during the British colonial era, it retains charming Tudor-style architecture, manicured gardens, and a cool climate which can drop down to 9 Centigrade . The town is famous for its scenic landscapes, and colonial-era landmarks. Key attractions include Horton Plains ( World’s End), Gregory Lake, Victoria Park, the Hakgala Botanical Garden, and the Seetha Amman Temple.
The Tudor-style two-story red-brick building[2] with a clock spire, was constructed in 1815 by the British and donated to the Postal Department in1894.

Hortons plains

Horton Plains is the island’s last remaining montane forest 3,160 hectares in extent located in a plateau high up on the hills at an elevation above 2000 metres. A vast expanse of grassland interspersed with little streamlets and craggy trees covers the centre of the plateau providing a pleasant walk of about 5 km. leading to an awe inspiring edge called the ‘World’s End’. It is a sheer drop of over 800 metres sloping down further away over mist covered treetops fading into the distant sea offering a breathtaking yet the most beautiful sight in the entire country. The jungle bordering the grassland abounds with wildlife. Among the animals that can be seen are the leopard, sambhur, barking deer, wild boar and monkeys. Horton Plains is a bird watcher’s paradise.
