... Lots of wonderful highlights of a quaint town also known as "Little England"... due to it being where British settlers built their holiday bungalows and spent their down time... there are tonnes of Colonial style buildings dotted all over the place... located in Sri Lanka's beautifully lush hill country... the coolest area in Sri Lanka... famous for its tea plantations and the most important location for tea production in the country... the town is also a market centre for rubber, vegetables, rice, and fish... there are many cascading waterfalls... đNuwara Eliya is truly a magical stop in Sri Lankađ... Thanks a lot

Nuwara Eliya is located in south-central Sri Lanka in the hill country of the Central Province, It lies at an elevation of 1,889 metres above sea level, immediately south of the island’s tallest mountain, Mount Pidurutalagala at 2,524 metres.
From 1830 Nuwara Eliya was a hill station used by the British residents of what was then Ceylon.
Its name means "city on the plain (table land)" or "city of light".
