And majestic “St.Clairs” falls are close to the main road from Avissawella to Nuwara-Eliya, also Baker’s waterfall, lakshapana, Ravana ella, Devon waterfall are among the picturesque views in hill country
As renowned worldwide, Ceylon tea is one of Sri Lanka’s primary exports. The humidity, cool temperatures, and rainfall of the country’s central highlands provide a climate that favors the production of high-quality tea. As many as 28 different grades of Ceylon tea are produced at plantations across the island, from the country’s biggest tea-growing region in hill country.
Nuwara Eliya is a city in the tea country hills of central Sri Lanka. The naturally landscaped Hakgala Botanical Gardens displays roses and tree ferns, and shelters monkeys and blue magpies. Nearby Seetha Amman Temple, a colorful Hindu shrine is decorated with religious figures. And Horton Plains covered by montane grassland and cloud forest enrich with high biodiversity.
Taking the train from Nanu Oya to Ella is the most famous stretch of train travel in Sri Lanka, and is nearly a tourist attraction in itself. The train powers up through Sri Lanka’s southern hill country, through the tea plantations, into the clouds and then weaves in and out of the many mountain tunnels as it descends to reach Ella.
Little Adam’s Peak lays on the eastern edge of the Ella Gap, straight across from the summit at Ella rock. The views are similar, but from Little Adam’s Peak you can see the Ravana Falls, which border the highway headed south.
