When planning tours to Sri Lanka make sure you add Nuwara Eliya to your itinerary. If you are visiting during December, you can look forward to a cool climate with temperatures averaging around 210C, though it can get colder at nights. Known as “Little England” due to its colonial charm, this town provides a “Christmassy” atmosphere and the weather in December is ideal for trekking through the Horton Plains National Park, hiking up Pidurutalagala Mountain, enjoying strolls at the scenic Victoria Park or teeing off at the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club.
