Set high among the misty tea-covered hills of Sri Lanka, the town of Nuwara Eliya offers a refreshingly cool retreat, colonial charm and access to some of the country’s most scenic landscapes. Arrive and explore in comfort with the specialised hill-country-friendly transfer service provided by Colombo Taxi Airport — making your journey to and from Nuwara Eliya smooth, reliable and stress-free.

A Town with British-Era Vibes & Highland Scenery

Nuwara Eliya lies at an elevation of around 1,900 metres above sea level, lending it a cool climate, sweeping tea plantations and a distinctly “Little England” feel. Visitors will notice colonial-style architecture, well-kept gardens and lawns, and a town that serves as perfect base for exploring the hill country.

As you arrive via your pre-booked taxi from Colombo or the airport, you’ll transition from coastal heat to crisp mountain air — setting the tone for calm walks, photo-worthy vistas and slower pace of travel.
