The high land ( Hill country)

The Hill Country of Sri Lanka is so beautiful to behold. Barely three hours of driving out of Colombo, you hit the high ground of Sri Lanka. The climate becomes cooler as the climb becomes steeper . The central area of Sri Lanka which is also known as up country is covered with lush green hills and tea estates and interspersed with water falls that makes the visitor rooted to the spot savouring the beauty of this resplendent land.

Nuwara Eliya also known as little England is probably a place where time has stopped. Set in the beautiful central hill country it is surrounded by tea gardens and sweet smell of pine trees. It is a small town that is straight out of a picture book. It looks as if gods have breathed life into a beautiful painting.
