A city in Sri Lanka’s Central Province’s hill country is called Nuwara Eliya. Its name translates to “city of light” or “city on the plain (table land)”. The city, which has a gorgeous environment and a temperate temperature, serves as the administrative center of the Nuwara Eliya District. It is thought to be the most significant area for tea production in Sri Lanka and is located there, at an elevation of 1,868 m (6,128 ft). The tallest peak in Sri Lanka, Pidurutalagala, guards above the city. The coolest region in Sri Lanka is Nuwara Eliya, which is recognized for its moderate climate. 

 The famous Horton Plains is a nature reserve with a beautiful landscape of hills, woodland and pastures. The highest plateau on the island with an area of about 10,000 hectares. The place is also called the world’s end because of its mystical landscapes of waterfalls, misty lakes and muddy types of flora and fauna.

Kirigalpoththa is the 2nd highest Mountain of Sri Lanka after Pidurutalagala. With a peak elevation of 2,388 meters above sea level.
