The plateau of sorts which encompasses central Sri Lanka together is what can be called the hill country of Sri Lanka.
The last kingdom of the Sinhalese, Kandy is the main hub amongst its mountainous siblings. With a pleasingly cool climate Kandy is still the spiritual and cultural centre of Sri Lanka. This picturesque city becomes a hub of bustling activity during the July – August period when the world renowned Temple of the Tooth Relic Perahera (procession) takes place – attracting visitors from all corners of the globe.
Moving further uphill, one encounters the serene British Colonial hideaway – Nuwara Eliya, well known for its unique tea and its vestiges of British culture which are still upheld today. These customs come alive in April with the city transforming to accommodate the horse and motor races, golf tournaments and the flower shows for which this city is much acclaimed.
Moving on from Nuwara Eliya, one can proceed to what is perhaps the healthiest area in Sri Lanka – Bandarawella – with its dry, sunny but cool temperatures. This climate is ideal for vegetation and fruits. This sleepy little town together with its close neighbour, Badulla boasts of Sri Lanks’a most breathtaking waterfalls such as Dunhinda, Diyaluma and Ravana Ella.
Though these are some of the main cities in the hill country, one should take the opportunity to explore the little villages and towns in between, as well as the other major cities like Hatton, Ella, Dickoya, and Haputale.
Ideal areas for keen hikers, bird watchers, nature lovers, all visitors undertaking Sri Lanka travel should not pass up the opportunity to explore the central province of Sri Lanka. Perhaps booking a Sri Lanka Car Rental would be best so that any passing wonder can be explored at leisure. Malkey Rent A Car provides ideal transportation to suit the number of travellers seeking to be adventurous and explore or just enjoy the quiet serenity afforded by Sri Lanka’s beautiful country side.
