Lanka. Nuwara Eliya being the highest, situated over 6000 feet above sea
level is also called “Little England”. As this is where the British built
themselves a home away from home.
The winding road that leads to the hill country through tea plantations
that carpet the hills to extend beyond sight, the water falls that meander
cascading down the hills, the misty valleys and scenery are certainly awe
inspiring.
One who drives up to Nuwara Eliya from Colombo [a four hour drive] will

cottage type bungalows and the colonial air. (Nuwara Eliya is also known as
“Little England”)
