The Hill country of Sri Lanka is a sight to behold. After the heat of the low lands of Sri Lanka, the diversity of temperature and scenery of the high lands is incredible, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya and Bandarawela, are three popular hill stations of Sri Lanka. Nuwara Eliya being the highest, situated over 6000 feet above sea level is also called “Little England”. As this is where the British built themselves a home away from home.

The drive to the hill country that winds through tea plantations that carpet the hills to extents beyond sight, the water falls that meander cascading down the hills the misty valleys and scenery are certainly awe inspiring.

One who drives up to Nuwara Eliya from Colombo [a three hour drive] will find it impossible to accept it to be a part of the same country.
