    Day Experiences in Nuwara Eliya

    A curated romantic day out in the City of Lights
    Sri Lanka’s hill station, Nuwara Eliya, is a quaint town and a popular romantic stop for couples journeying in Sri Lanka. Often called “Little England”, Nuwara Eliya has a charming colonial ambience, an intimate feel, and a host of fun couple activities. The sunrise to sunset series was created upon popular demand by the Honeymoon Guide and includes the best day experiences in Nuwara Eliya.

    Start the Morning Chasing Waterfalls

    Take your pick from several nearby waterfalls to kick-start your day. From the hidden gem of Bomburu Ella Falls with its 3 km enchanting forest trek to the more famous and closer-to-town Lovers Leap, doing this in the morning offers a chance to beat the crowds and have some extra time amidst Nature’s splendour.

    Highlights

    Hakgala Botanical Gardens and Seetha Eliya Temple

    Located on the route back to Nuwara Eliya, the botanical gardens and temple are next to each other for a combined visit. A stroll in the botanical gardens is often referenced as one of the most romantic outings for couples in Nuwara Eliya. Seetha Eliya Kovil is steeped in legend and folklore intertwined with the Indian epic of Ramayana.

    Main Highlights

    Lunch overlooking Victoria Park

    Stop for a bite to eat at Victoria Park; Themparadu Café is a popular stop, but don’t fill up, as we have included the Grand Hotel High Tea in the itinerary for a decadent evening of sweets and pastries.

    Lake Gregory

    This enchanting city lake has tons of recreational activities for couples to do. Carved into three distinctive areas called Phases 1, 2 and 3, Lake Gregory is an enchanting excursion.
