Overview
Journey from Kandy through misty highlands to Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka's charming "Little England." Visit cascading waterfalls, lush tea plantations, and colonial-era landmarks on this scenic private day trip.
Your driver will meet you at your hotel in Kandy bright and early (around 8 AM or before) for a scenic drive of roughly two to two and a half hours through the hill country toward Nuwara Eliya.

Upon reaching Nuwara Eliya — affectionately known as "Little England" — you will discover a charming highland town with a distinctly British colonial character, complete with Tudor-style hotels, elegant bungalows, carefully tended hedgerows, and beautiful gardens that make this one of Sri Lanka's most unique destinations.
