Have a romantic gateway in Sri Lanka by enjoying those places:
- Nuwara Eliya
Nuwara Eliya, often nicknamed the "Little England" is the highest city in the country. A favorite summer resort for British tea pioneers, the city has retained its old-world charm with its red telephone booths, impeccable golf course, and colonial-style bungalows. The garden of Hakgala, 10 km from Nuwara Eliya, famous for its impressive collection of roses, is worth a visit during the blossoming period in April.
- Ella
The region of Ella and Haputale welcomes you in the heart of splendid mountains and beautiful tea plantations. This is where you can admire the 9 Arches bridge over which the famous blue train passes. Dotted with various waterfalls, it is an ideal destination for amazing hikes for all levels.
- Arugam bay
With its crescent-shaped bay, Arugam Bay is renowned among the international surfer community for its "Point Break". Each year, an international competition is organized here during the best season (from April to September).
