Nuwara Eliya tea plantage

Things to do in Nuwara Eliya & How can I get there

Nuwara Eliya is a charming little town on the hills of central Sri Lanka. Located 175 km east of the capital Colombo, you can reach Nuwara Eliya in 3 ways: by train, by bus, and by taxi.

The train is the most scenic way to get to the so-called “city on the plain.” You will be welcomed by rolling tea estates and farmers working hard to pick the tea leaves while the train reaches Nuwara Eliya.
