Nuwara Eliya located at an altitude of 1,868 m (6,128 ft) has average temperature 16°C and considered
to be the most important location for Tea production in Sri Lanka. One fabulous way of exploring the

station and the nearest station is Nanu Oya, about 9km along the road towards Hatton. Kandy to Nanu
Oya train route is one of the most scenic in the country, but it takes at about 4-5hours. We will queue for

mammal and 215 bird species. Among its more famous residents are the world’s biggest concentration of
leopards, elephants, sloth bears, sambars, jackals, spotted dear, peacocks, and crocodiles. It is best that
you do an afternoon safari in to the Yala National Park.
