Heart of Sri Lanka’s tea country, Nuwara Eliya teas are some of the country’s best.    
Many of Sri Lanka high Mountain peaks including the highest Pidurutalagala (2524 m) are located in this district.
Excellent walks and drives, exceptionally good golf on the 18 hole course, one of the best in Asia.
Trout hatchery, gardens of flowers, fruts and vegetables, not commonly associated with Sri Lanka, Hakgala Botanical Gardens famous for its collection of roses and the rare fernery.

Sigiriya



Kasyapa son of king dathusena (459-477AD) had his father arrested walled alive within his tomb.
His brother Moggallana, who was the legitimate successor to the throne, was sent into exile abroad, and Kasyapa was named king.
As he had the power, he was in constant fear of his life.
For this reason, he left the capital city of Anuradhapura and went into the wilderness where he built on top of a huge monolith which, rises 200m from the jungle into the sky, his palace. Around this rock he constructed impressive fortifications.
From sigiriya he ruled the kingdom for 18 years (479-497 AD) until such time his brother Moggallana returned from India with an army. Beaten in battle he committed suicide in his rock fortress.
At the base of the monolith was the capital city and on top the citadel and attraction for the visitors are the famous frescos which date back to the time of king Kasyapa. “The Heavenly Maidens” remnants of an enormous gallery which contained once five hundred frescos-cos.
No one really knows whom the seductive beauties represent, but it is easy to believe that they are heaven dwelling nymphs from a realm of radiant light.
The inscriptions (graffiti) on the so called mirror wall are the testimony of visitors from the 5th to the 13th Century AC, who were impressed by the beautiful heavenly beings.
The graffiti are an important document of the development of the Singhalese language.
