    The hosts were very nice with us, they came to pickup us at the train station and wait for us one hour until midnight! He offered us tea and something to eat. The room was clean and confortable with a balcony with a view on the Single Tree hill....

    We had an apartment all to ourselves (the hosts live next door). The bed was extremely comfy and we had the best night's sleep of the entire trip here. The bedroom was light and airy, and had a small balcony that overlooked the hills. Breakfast...

The city was founded by Samuel Baker, the explorer of Lake Albert and the upper Nile in 1846. Nuwara Eliya's climate lent itself to becoming the prime sanctuary of the British civil servants and planters in Ceylon. Nuwara Eliya, called Little England, was a hill country retreat where the British colonialists could immerse themselves in their pastimes such as fox hunting, deer hunting, elephant hunting, polo, golf and cricket. limate Due to its highland location, Nuwara Eliya has a subtropical highland climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb),[1] having no pronounced dry season, a monsoon-like cloudy season and with a mean annual temperature of 16 °C (61 °F). In the winter months, there can be frost at night, but it warms up rapidly during the day because of the high sun angle. Language Sinhala and Tamil are the two major languages spoken in Nuwara Eliya. English is also widely used by the locals. Festivals Nuwara Eliya Town Square The town really comes alive in April for the Sinhalese and Tamil New Year. It is difficult to find accommodation as Sri Lankans holiday in the region during this period. The festive season starts on April 1 annually in a ceremonial manner. The ceremony consists mainly of a band show in which all the local school bands participate. Main attractions during April include motor and horse racing events. Motor racing comes alive with the Mahagastotte and Radella Hill Climbs, the former being run since 1934. The Nuwara Eliya Road Race and the 4X4 Lake Cross on edge of Lake Gregory attract a fair share of enthusiasts. Parties are held nightly in the hotels, and the season culminates in the nine-furlong (1811 m) Governor's Cup at the Nuwara Eliya Racecourse, Golf Tournaments at the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club, and the flower show at the end of the month. The town's attractions include the golf course, trout streams, Victoria Park, and boating or fishing on Lake Gregory. Victoria Park is an attractive and well-used oasis.
