About Nanu Oya in Nuwara Eliya

The little village of Nanu Oya lies amidst the misty peaks of the Central Highlands in Sri Lanka. The village is named after the eponymous stream that stretches for 27 km in the Central Province of Sri Lanka. The stream of Nanu Oya is located at a height above 2,000 meters originating from Pidurutalagala and falls into the Kotmale Oya at an altitude of 1,200 m approximately.

Whether you're visiting Nanu Oya for a few days or you’re a local, Nanuoya is sure to have something new for you.

Despite the popularity of Nanu Oya, among tourists and travelers, the lush green hamlet is a clandestine spot in the mountains. This place is heaven for those who enjoy hiking. One will find buildings and houses in the village marked with colonial-era architecture.

Nanu Oya is famed for being the railroad entrance to the city of Nuwara Eliya. The Nanu Oya railway station falls on the sixty-third station from the main line. It is 206.93 km away from the center of the railway network, with an altitude of 1613.10 m. Almost all trains serve the Nanu Oya station.

Nanu Oya station was a junction and branching point for the narrow gauge line to Nuwara Eliya - Ragala - Udapussellawa railway line. Considered as one the most picturesque journeys in the country, the route is full of mesmerizing sights ranging from lush green tea gardens to tall mountains.

1948, the Sri Lankan government decided to close the track due to low traffic.

The Nanu Oya waterfall, better known as Nanu Oya Ella Fall, is situated in Nanu Oya, 6km from Nuwara Eliya. The water deluges through mist down a sequence of 25 steps (60m in height) creating a cascading effect before it joins the Kotmale and Mahaweli rivers.

The Nanu Oya waterfall can be seen from the main road but to reach the waterfall you need to take them by road by the rail station and travel about 1.5 km on this route.

There are a few places to visit while visiting Nanu Oya like Glassaugh Falls, Gregory Lake, Siripadaya peak, Horton Plains National Park and Ceylon Tea Trails.

    My family and I had an amazing 7-day holiday in Sri Lanka with Travco Adventures. The places we visited like Sigiriya, Dambulla, Kandy, and Nuwara Eliya had the perfect atmosphere and cool weather. Our driver was very nice and showed us around the most throughout the day, taking us to temples and pi
    cturesque views. It was a unique experience that we will always remember. We will definitely be coming back to Sri Lanka and Travel Triangle for our future holidays with family and friends. Thank you for a splendid vacation!

    Sri lankan travel agent Chamodi is very helpful and kind. Driver and tour guide Jagath is also very caring and understanding Full marks to the sri lankan team Travel triangle though on the other hand who charge you $11 as fees really gets missing from the scene once you pay up No calls no updates n
    egligible response from travel triangle. In my opinion if you are booking through travel triangle try and book directly from the local agent The platform and tge travel triangle agent dont offer much of assistance

    Venkatesh's 6 days trip to Nuwara Eliya

    My Grandparents and I recently had the pleasure of exploring Sri Lanka with Discover Ceylon Tours, and I must say it was an incredible experience from beginning to end. From the moment I contacted them, their team was very responsive, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. We had a lot of complem
    entary places to visit including a beautiful tea estate and a fully guided spice garden and a spice shop with all the spices available in Sri Lanka. Since we were Tamilians, The agency especially got us a specific Tamil driver. One thing I Really appreciate about the agency and especially the Driver is that, once we told him that my grandfather had special medical condition, he took that in to account very seriously unlike other drivers that we had met. He would drive accordingly and drop us near the entrance of the site and then park his car. The driver was always there with us to take care of us especially my grandfather, who he took VERY good care of. He would guide us everywhere because we were new to Sri Lanka. The driver would not hesitate to take us wherever we wanted and would give us extra tips about the wonders of Sri Lanka. He was always cheerful, helpful and adjusting. Kudos to Mr. Nasran (Our Driver). What truly set this agency apart was their attention to detail and commitment to providing a personalized experience. We were a vegetarian faily and they paid special attention to that point and booked us hotels which accommodated this Indian cuisine and diet. The accommodations and facilities in the hotels provided were top-notch, offering a comfortable stay after each day's adventures. Overall, my experience with Discover Ceylon Tours met my expectations. Their exceptional service, combined with their local expertise, made for an unforgettable journey. If you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka, I highly recommend booking with Discover Ceylon Tours for a truly memorable experience! Kudos to your team and especially Mr. Wazim for making our trip go smooth.

    FAQ's of Nuwara Eliya

    Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    What kind of clothes should be preferred while visiting Nanu Oya?

    Warm clothes should be kept along with as it gets cold here at Nanu Oya. Also, raincoat should be carried along as it rains quite unexpectedly.

    What are a few good places to eat in Nanu Oya?

    St Andrews Hotel, that serves an amazing buffet experience, described as a "fusion" of eastern and western tastes.

    Edinburgh Tea Train is a new tea center opened in 2017. Great food and scenery. The tea center serves authentic breakfast, tea, and snacks. They also sell tea products (much cheaper than others but the quality is really good). They offer special tea field tours and specialty tea of the month. Ask the employee for details. The tea center is located 2 minutes ride North (Nuwara Eliya-bound) from Nanu Oya railway station, so Tea Train is a must go before or after the train ride.

    The Hill Club is a special experience that will take you back almost 100 years.
