Hill country
Tea, cool air and train lines through the highest part of the island.
Up where the air turns cool.
The road climbs from Kandy — home of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth — into tea country planted in the British years, ridge after ridge of clipped green bushes. Nuwara Eliya keeps its colonial houses and its cold evenings.
Ella is all viewpoints and waterfalls, and the blue train that winds through the hills is one of the most beautiful rides anywhere. Above it sit Horton Plains and World's End — and Adam's Peak, whose stairway of lights fills with pilgrims in season.
