Nuwara Eliyah

Known locally as “little England” it is cool (or cool for SL).

It’s very high in the mountains, on the journey up the mountains you’ll see tea plantations and beautiful scenery, as beautiful as anywhere I’ve ever seen.

It has a very definite “season”, April. Even May 2nd is outside the season. During April there’s a carnival atmosphere, street vendors, food, crowds (not foriegners: mainly SL’ers from other parts of the Island)

Outside of April it’s much quieter and a bit sad, like a seaside town without any visitors.
