Nuwara Eliya – The ‘Little England’ of Sri Lanka, is set against beautiful backdrops of Mountains, Valleys, Waterfalls and Tea Plantations.
It is supposed to be one of the coolest places in the Island, but it is really just like an English spring day, although the temperature does drop at night.
All around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions.
Seasons may be absent elsewhere in Sri Lanka, but here you can read them by the flowers, which bloom in the spring (march to May) and the fall (August and September).
These are the “seasons†when low-country folk flock to Nuwara Eliya to escape the sea level heat and humidity.
On completion visit the Hakgala gardens: The Hakgala Botanical Garden was one of the pleasure gardens of King Rawana of the well-known epic Ramayanaya.
This garden was expanded during the British period and has a wide variety of flowers including an excellent collection of orchids
This is the exotic pleasure garden where king Rawana kept the depressed Sita, insisting that she marry him.
It was here where the heart-warming meeting took place between her and Hanuman, who brought her Rama’s ring with the news that Rama was looking for her.
He offered to carry her back but she refused saying it would be an insult to Rama’s honor if he did so.
Part of this majestic garden still exists.
It is also said that Hanuman nearly destroyed it in order to prove to Ravana of the forces against him.
