Shanthipura Viewpoint: Above the Clouds in Nuwara Eliya

By Days of Iru and Opa

Shanthipura is among the highest settlements on the island, perched above Nuwara Eliya, and the viewpoint there looks out over the town and the surrounding tea hills. On a clear morning you can see for miles.

What to expect

From the top the land drops away into layers of hills, and low cloud often sits below you in the early morning. It is a short trip up from town for a big payoff.

Good to know

Go early before the cloud builds up over the hills. It is cold at this height, so bring a jacket even on a sunny day.
