Originally the park was the research field of Hakgala Botanical Garden. The park was formally named in 1897 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The park was established with the planting of its first tree, an Oak, by a visiting German Princess. The Nanu Oya runs through the park, creating a number of small lakes. A number of rare bird species can be found in the park. At the far end of the park is a small children's playground and miniature ridable railway.

Moon Plains, also known as Sandathenna, is a 400-metre long, 40 metre deep valley in Ranhawadigama, about 6km from Nuwara Eliya. What was once part of a catchment area, Moon Plains is now a notable Agricultural and Environmental Tourism Zone since March 2014. Bountiful Wildlife The green slopes and greying backdrop is something straight out of a portrait, with wild animals running about hither and thither. You can spot deer, buffalos and more at Moon Plains, along with dozens of bird species. In fact, Sri Lankan leopards have been spotted in this region, so you might want to keep your eyes peeled if you want to catch a glimpse of the elusive spotted predator! Picturesque Views Standing at a surface elevation of 6,200 ft, Moon Plains can get chilly and misty, so you need to watch your step! It also provides visitors with an amazing panoramic view of the countryside and peaks that surround it, but again, this depends on the visibility during the day. A key attraction at Moon Plains is the ‘Mini World’s End’, a peak with a sharp drop, offering you a stunning look at the landscape below.

Lake Gregory is a reservoir in heart of the tea country hill city, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka. It was constructed during the period of British Governor Sir William Gregory in 1873 in order to make more land available for the expansion of the town. We spent a leisure evening in Gregory Park located west of Lake Gregory. A small entrance fee to Gregory Park applies to foreigners. Other than taking a stroll or having a picnic in the park, you can also hire a speedboat or paddle boat to go out on the lake. You can even ride a horse in the park! There are several food stalls in the park selling local delicacies. We had a fun time exploring the lake by hiring swan-shaped pedal boats. My children also got to ride on a pony. Location: XQ4G+PX6, Peradeniya-Badulla-Chenkaladi Hwy, Nuwara Eliya 22200, Sri Lanka #srilanka #nuwaraeliya #lake #gregory #park #boat #reservoir #boating #tripblazers

Nuwara Eliya is situated at an elevation of 1,868 m in the misty hills of central Sri Lanka. It is known as “Little England” of Sri Lanka for its temperate climate and colonial architecture. We had a wonderful stay in Kent Cottage, one of the beautiful colonial style bungalows in the Little England Cottages. There are 4 bedrooms in the Kent Cottage. The room we stayed in had a king bed and an extra single bed. The bathroom was huge and came with a bathtub. The whole bungalow was elegantly decorated in English style and for once we forgot that we were actually in Sri Lanka! The whole neighborhood is gated and houses many other similar cottages surrounded by beautiful gardens. We had hearty and delicious breakfast served in the restaurant. The staff was hospitable and professional. 👍👍 Location: Lot 6, Little England Cottages, Moon Plains, Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka #srilanka #nuwaraeliya #cottage #colonial #england #bungalow #bathtub #garden #tripblazers

Tea plantations fields must be included in the TO-DO list of places to visit in Colombo. Even though the location is not very convenient as it is a bit far from downtown, it is still totally worthy to visit. The whole visit, including walking around and taking pictures should last between 2 to 3 hours. It is a special place which has a huge number of trees, creating such a clean and refreshing environment. After the visit, you can also enjoy a good tea and purchase high quality tea with a reasonable price. This could be the best souvenir you get in the area. #createwithtrip #nuwaraeliya #srilanka #teafields
