Nuwara Eliya Festive Season in Full Swing – Celebrations in the Hills

The hill country in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka becomes one of the country’s most popular destinations in the month of April each year, with the town playing host to a range of events, activities and programmes. Coinciding with the island’s Sinhala & Tamil New Year, the April season in Nuwara Eliya which is known as “Salalihini Wasanthaya” draws more than 200,000 visitors during this time with Nuwara Eliya bungalows being a popular choice of accommodation. This includes properties that have British or European influences in style such as Scottish Planter Glendevon Bungalow, belonging to Theme Resorts & Spas. Among the festive hallmarks in Nuwara Eliya during April was the Nuwara Eliya Horse Racing Festival also featuring trendy fashion and music, a flower show, the Mahagasthota Speed Hill Climb and many other entrainment programmes that were enjoyed amidst the cool climes of this mountainous region.
