Tea Country
Nuwara Eliya
Misty highlands, single-estate tea tastings, and the world's most beautiful train journey.
About Nuwara Eliya
At 1,868 metres, Nuwara Eliya is Sri Lanka's highest city — a colonial hill station wrapped in tea terraces, cool mist, and the gentle scent of eucalyptus. Tour private estates with master blenders, taste single-origin teas you won't find elsewhere, and walk through the Horton Plains at sunrise to reach World's End — a sheer cliff with views plunging 870 metres to the lowlands. The legendary scenic train departs from here into the Ella highlands, passing waterfalls and emerald valleys.
