  • Nuwara Eliya, an old colonial outpost still referred to as 'Little England', certainly lives up to its name.

  • In the evening, visit Gregory Lake and Victoria Park:
    • Gregory Lake, Nuwara Eliya: Lake Gregory, sometimes also called Gregory Lake or Gregory Reservoir, is a reservoir in the heart of the tea country hill city, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka.

    • Victoria Park, Nuwara Eliya: Victoria Park is a public park located in Nuwara Eliya, next to the Nuwara Eliya Post Office in Sri Lanka. Originally, the park was the research field of Hakgala Botanical Garden. It was formally named in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
