THE LITTLE ENGLAND
Nuwara Eliya is often referred to as the Little England. The reason is that the coolest climate with coverd by the mist at Morning & Evening times & the buildings of Nuwara eliya are similar to the Houses of a British village.
In December and July, the temperature goes down to between 5 and 8 degrees Celsius, while the other months of the year are between 11 and 16 degrees Celsius.
Nuwara eliya is the highest city in sri lanka which is1890 meters above the sea level. And the highest mountain of Sri lanka named by "Piduruthalagala" or "Mount Pedro" is also located in the Nuwara eliya (2555meters).
The salubrious climate has branded Nuwara Eliya into a sanatorium that attracts Sri Lankan tourists as well as foreign travellers to the seasonal event during February to April. Golf tournaments, horse racing, motor cross, clay pigeon shooting and carnival features are some of the main festivities. The downside of the season is the accommodation rates that shoot up above all. With thousands of local tourists flocking to Nuwara Eliya filling up hotels and guest houses that provide budget accommodation in the season and narrowing the accommodation options, foreign tourists would find it necessary to have the hotel bookings sorted out well in advance.
Sri Lanka is produces a significant share of the world's best tea and in the mean time is also one of the world's largest exporters of tea. Since the introduction of tea to Sri Lanka in mid 19the century Nuwara Eliya has been the capital of the tea industry.
On the road between Kandy and Nuwara Eliya, we can see some of Sri Lanka's largest tea factories and tea Gardens.
Little England" is also home to some beautiful waterfalls in Sri Lanka such as Ramboda Falls, Devon Falls, Bakers Falls and St.clair falls.
