Nuwara Eliya Tour: Tea Plantations, Gregory Lake & Ramboda Falls
Visit Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka's tea country, with a private guide: tea factories, Gregory Lake, Ramboda Falls and colonial town sights.
Nuwara Eliya, often called Little England, is a cool hill station surrounded by tea estates, waterfalls and misty mountains. It is a refreshing break from the heat of the coast.
Top things to do
Tour a working tea plantation and factory, stop at Ramboda Falls, relax at Gregory Lake and walk through the colonial-era town. Many guests also take the scenic train between Nanu Oya and Ella.
Climate and what to pack
The town sits high in the hills, so evenings are cool. Bring a light jacket and rain protection. Mornings are usually the clearest for views.
How it fits your route
Nuwara Eliya sits between Kandy and Ella. It is included in our 10, 11 and 12 day tours, with hotel stays arranged on half board.
Frequently asked questions
Is Nuwara Eliya cold?
It is noticeably cooler than the coast and lowlands, especially at night, so pack a light jacket.
How long should I stay?
One night is enough for the tea estates and Gregory Lake, and two nights if you want to hike or explore more slowly.
