Nuwara Eliya as known as The Little England of Sri Lanka where you will find the coldest weather in the country all around the year and its surrounded by tea plantations and greeneries. City is famous for its attractions such as golf courses, Victoria Park, and fishing or boating on Lake Gregory. Victoria Park is an attractive and well-used sanctuary as well as trout streams. It is popular with bi
rdwatchers at quieter times because of the good opportunities for seeing species, particularly the Indian blue robin, pied thrush or scaly thrush lurking in the denser undergrowth. The Kashmir flycatcher is another attractive bird species in the park. Galway's Land Bird Sanctuary, close to Lake Gregory, is an area of montane forest a few kilometers east of the town. Covering an area of 0.6 km2 it is home to many bird and mammal species endemic to Sri-Lanka, including wild boar and barking deer. This is a key wildlife area of open grassy woodland. Species found here include the leopard, sambar, and the endemic purple-faced langur. Endemic highland birds include the dull-blue flycatcher, Sri Lanka white-eye, and yellow-eared bulbul. The plains have a well-visited tourist attraction at World's End โ a sheer precipice with a 1050 m drop. The return walk passes the scenic Baker's fall. Early morning visits are best, both to see the wildlife and to view World's End before mists close in during the latter part of the morning.
