Nuwara Eliya’s cool climate, colonial charm, and rolling tea plantations make it one of the best destinations for views in Sri Lanka. Wander through lush tea estates, visit the iconic Lake Gregory, or stroll the gardens of Hakgala Botanical Garden. Don’t miss a tour of a historic tea factory to learn about Sri Lanka’s famous Ceylon tea. The best time to visit is from April to May when flowers bloom and the weather is refreshingly crisp.
