NUWARA ELIYA Eliya or “Little England” is the home of the popular Ceylon Tea. It’s easy to see how the sobriquet came about. The cool climes and rolling green hills of NUWARA ELIYA Eliya were highly popular with British settlers and colonial times who spent their leisure time fox hunting in the nearby woods.

The city of NUWARA ELIYA Eliya was founded by Samuel Baker, discoverer of Africa’s Lake Albert and intrepid explorer of the Nile. The Queen’s Cottage, Grand Hotel and Hill Club are among the city’s prominent colonial buildings. Activities
