Sri Lanka highest town, Nuwara Eliya lies at the heart of the southern hill country, amid a bowl of green mountains beneath the protective gaze of Pidurutalagala, Sri Lanka’s tallest peak.
Nuwara Eliya (pronounced, as one word, something like “Nuwara Eliya”) was established by the British in the nineteenth century, and the town is often touted as Sri Lanka as a “Little England”, a quaint Victorian relic complete with municipal park, golf course, boating lake, a trio of fine old colonial hotels and frequent, very British, showers of rain.
Parts of Nuwara Eliya still live up to the hype, with a medley of doughty British-era landmarks whose misplaced architecture — from jaunty seaside kitsch to solemn faux-Tudor – lend some corners of the town an oddly English (or perhaps Scottish) air, like a crazily transplanted fragment of Brighton or Balmorals.
