Nestled amidst the rolling hills and cool climate of Sri Lanka’s central highlands, Nuwara Eliya is often called “Little England” — and at its heart lie the lush, emerald-green tea plantations that have made Ceylon tea world-famous. Blanketed in mist and stretching as far as the eye can see, these plantations offer a serene and scenic experience. Visitors can walk through neatly lined tea bushes, watch skillful tea pluckers at work, and visit historic tea factories to witness the time-honored process of tea making — from fresh leaves to steaming cups. Sipping freshly brewed tea while surrounded by misty mountains and waterfalls is an experience that captures the charm and elegance of Nuwara Eliya.
