What is the best time to visit Nuwara Eliya?

Nuwara Eliya experiences a subtropical highland climate with rainfall almost throughout the year and an average annual temperature of 30 °C. The best time to visit Nuwara Eliya is from February to April, which has the least rainy weather. During these months, temperatures range from approximately 10°C to 20°C (50°F to 68°F), providing ideal conditions to explore the lush tea plantations, visit picturesque waterfalls, and experience the natural beauty of Horton Plains National Park. April is quite a busy month in Nuwara Eliya, as this is the time of the Sinhalese New Year, with flower shows, horse races, and car races happening across the city; inevitably, the prices at hotels often hit the roof in this month. Avoid visiting Nuwara Eliya from October to December which are the rainiest months.
