About Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya preserves 'Little England' perfectly—colonial bungalows, a grand post office, and manicured golf course transport visitors to 19th-century Surrey. The town sits 1,894 metres high in Sri Lanka's tea-growing heartland; cool air and mist frequent mornings. The Grand Hotel maintains imperial standards and afternoon tea traditions.
