Beautifully situated among the hills, Nuwara Eliya is the centre of Sri Lanka’s tea-growing industry. Nuwara Eliya was established by the British in the nineteenth century. Today the population of this town is mostly Tamil and Muslim. Its climate is much cooler than the rest of the country.
We decided to take a tuk tuk and go to visit the town. This is how you get a tuk tuk, you stand in front of the hotel and clap:
The town is noisy, messy and full of life:
One of our wishes was to try their local cuisine. We decided to taste local pancakes, called hoppers. They make a very thin crepe and put a whole egg at the bottom:
More shopping:
The next day we visited this Hindu temple, also in Nuwara Eliya:
Famously known as ASHOK VATIKA for Hindu people, where Mother Sita was held captive by Ravana who had kidnapped her & brought her to Sri Lanka from India & where Hanumana came to rescue her.

Hi Joanna,
How are you enjoying Srilanka so far. Isn’t it a beautiful country. Looking at your photos brings back a lot of fond memories. I hope you liked the hoppers…yum..yum. When you do get back and if you want to try some of the Srilankan food in Toronto let me know. There are many places especially in Scarborough.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation.
Safe and happy travels!
