If you are looking for a comfortable hotel in Nuwara Eliya, one of the top choices available is Jetwing St. Andrew’s. Among many other Nuwara Eliya hotels, this hillside hotel is known for its spectacular setting. Kandy, being the hill capital of the island, is just a three hours drive from Nuwara Eliya. Located in the heart of the city, next to the Temple of Tooth Relic, the beautiful Kandy Lake is the highlight of the Kandy city. Anyone visiting the hill capital of Sri Lanka would undoubtedly spend a few minutes by the Kandy Lake for a breath of fresh air.
