Nuwara Eliya is located roughly in the middle of Sri Lanka and also in the middle of the hilly tea plantations. Everything looks completely different again, not just the nature but also the architecture. The place seems like an enclave of rich landowners who have built a racecourse, cricket fields, chic residential complexes and hotels, and who have converted Lake Gregory into a small recreational and leisure park.
