Nuwara Eliya - "Little England"
Nuwara Eliya is located at the heart of the hill country 6182 feet above from the sea level. At the heart of the southern hill county is Nuwara-Eliya, Sri lanka’s highest town and a favorite hill station during British colonial times. It is still very much like an old English town with styled Bungalows and buildings. The cool calm climate, gorges rolling tea plantation which makes the best “Ceylon tea” and the breathtaking beautiful waterfalls makes Nuwara Eliya one of the most beautiful town in the world. The town is still touted as ‘Little England’, an illusion maintained by the presence of the finest 18 whole golf courses in South Asia, a racecourse, the Victoria Park and excellent trout fishing in nearby lakes and rivers. The temperature can drop to close to freezing at nights and it is common to se smoke rising from the chimneys of many Tudor-style manors. Adding to the town’s atmosphere is the spectacle of its townsfolk wrapped up in winter jackets and woolly hats, carting great bundles of turnips, leeks, marrows and cabbages to and from the markets. Nuwara Eliya is a great base to explore the surrounding countryside and there are many walks on offer, including hiking around the lower slopes of the thickly forested Mount Pidurutalaga, at 2,555m the island’s highest peak.
Whale & Dolphin Watching in Sri lanka
Whale and dolphin watching in Sri Lanka has always been a very exciting activity. The thrill that you get when you witness these beautiful and mammoth creatures is always humbling. You can enjoy these expeditions mainly during the morning and afternoon, while the morning trip is considered the best to try it out.
Your clothing should always be comfortable. We suggest shorts or long pants. Shoes with rubber soles are advised while safety jackets and gear are provided by the expedition organizers. Sunscreen is suggested since you will be spending a good couple of hours out in the ocean. The boat ride would be at times choppy and for those who get sea sick should take precautions prior to boarding the boat. A pair of binoculars and your camera equipment can be taken aboard so that you will be able to document your excursion every step of the way.
It is always wise to check the weather conditions on the day of your trip so that you are prepared beforehand. Even though there are predicted monsoon seasons, you should be well geared for sudden downpours. Make sure that all excursion reservations are made in advance so that it suits your schedule. We suggest that you arrive at the docks earlier than the specified departure time.
We would also like to mention that whale and dolphin sightings can be unpredictable at times and there might be occasions that you might not spot these magnificent mammals. However, the trip itself to the deep blue Indian Ocean is completely worth your time.
