The Hill Country
Sri Lanka's Hill country is one of the main attractions of Sri Lanka.
The main base of Nuwara Elya is a great place to see the tea plantations and experience the atmosphere of the colonial period.
Nearby Ella is a peaceful and scenic village with great views over Ella gap.
Nature lovers will love Horton Plains, whilst the energetic may want to join the pilgrims for the early morning climb to the top of Adam's Peak in time for the most spectacular sunrise in Sri Lanka.

Nuwara Elya
Often dubbed as “Little England”, Nuwara Elya is one of the main towns in Sri Lanka’s Hill Country and a convenient base from which to explore this beautiful region of Sri Lanka.
It’s easy to slip into bucolic dreams of the England of yesteryear and a stay in Nuwara Elya allows for a few indulgent reveries amidst the colonial bungalows, high-teas and red telephone boxes.
There are few better places to stay in Nuwara Elya for such day-dreaming than somewhere like St. Andrews with its evocation of colonial era life. Enjoy afternoon tea over-looking the lawns and enjoy a game of billiards.
Remember that Nuwara Elya is quite high and November to February can see the town blanketed in mist and more than a little chilly. Hotels have big open fireplaces here for a reason.
Nuwara Elya is a great base for visiting a tea factory or the tea plantations which surround the town.
It’s possible to walk to tea plantations and a popular option is the walk up to Single Tree Mountain for views back over town.
Getting to Nuwara Elya by steam train is a great option and a highlight of a visit to Sri Lanka’s Hill Country.
