Nuwara Eliya is a tiny hill station in Sri Lanka’s central province. At an altitude of close to 2000 meters, the little town oscillates from being cool to cold. We reached when it was raining in Nuwara Eliya (Read: Drive from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya). There was a little wind […]
The distance from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya is about 80 kms, and can be easily done in about 3 hours, considering you will be driving hill country. We, as is usual with us, stopped by a whole lot of places and ended up reaching Nuwara Eliya only around 3pm…after about […]
