Private Transfer from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya

Escape the tropical heat and ascend to "Little England"—Sri Lanka's highest town nestled at 1,868 meters above sea level. The 77 km journey from Kandy climbs through spectacular tea country, passing Ramboda Falls and mile after mile of perfectly manicured tea bushes. Nuwara Eliya's colonial charm, cool climate (often below 15°C), and strawberry farms make it a refreshing contrast to Sri Lanka's coastal heat. Our drivers are experts on the winding mountain roads, ensuring a comfortable journey with stops at working tea factories and misty viewpoints.
