Central Highlands Scenic Spots in Sri lanka
High mountains, tea gardens, and valleys shrouded in clouds produce some of the world's finest black tea, and the climate is comfortable. š Kandy: A sacred Buddhist site, a culturally vibrant ancient city. Highly recommended are the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and the Royal Botanic Gardens. š Elephant Orphanage: Home to the world's largest captive herd of elephants, where you can watch them bathe in the river up close. Their cuteness will captivate you. š Nuwara Eliya: A quaint English-style town that still retains the aristocratic atmosphere from the colonial period. Recommended are tea plantation visits, the Pink Post Office, and hiking in Horton Plains. š Mountain Train: The most beautiful section is from Haputale Station to Ella Station. The train passes through vast primeval forests and lush tea gardens, as if entering a fairy-tale world like "The Wizard of Oz." ā° Ella: Tourists taking the mountain train often disembark at Ella. This small village is perfect for short hikes and enjoying natural spas. Recommended is the Little Adam's Peak hike. #Kandy#Ella#Cafe Nuwara#Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage#Sri lanka#trip diary
