All around Nuwara Eliya you will see evidence of the British influence, houses like country cottages or Queen Ann style mansions. The Victoria Park, in the middle of the town, is a lovely place for a stroll or a picnic. Seasons may be absent elsewhere in Sri Lanka, but here you can read them by the flowers, which bloom in the spring (March to May) and the fall (August and September).

Regardless of how carefully the leaf has been grown and plucked, if the processes at the factory are not carried out properly the end result will be of a poor quality. A tea factory is a multi-storied building, almost always sited on the tea estates to ensure that the time between plucking and processing tea is kept to a minimum. Once the tea leaves arrive at the factory they are spread across the upper floors of the building in troughs – a process known as withering. Withering removes all excess moisture in the leaf to make it pliable.</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Check into the Hotel &amp; Rest ….</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Evening visit the Sita Aman Temple &amp; Gregory Lake.

The water rises from Wewatenna highland above the rocks.&nbsp; In general, the rocky underground of the waterfalls in Sri Lanka consists of hard gneiss or granite, but here the material is khondalite, a kind of limestone which undergoes decay faster. This has resulted in many caves being formed near the falls. King Ravana of Ramayana legend is said to have lived in one of the caves above the waterfalls.</p><p style="text-align: justify; ">Ravana Cave - These tunnels prove beyond doubt the architectural brilliance of King Rawana.

<div>Thank you Flamingo for making our trip to South Africa so well organised and memorable.</div>

<div>Harsh was so helpful and very keen to see that he fulfilled all the promises given by Flamingo travels of various sightseeing and activities</div>
<div>We were never rushed and had enough time on sightseeing.</div>
<div>Food was Excellent throughout with lot of Variety!!</div>
<div>Hotels were good but as we had upgraded to ‘THE Palace ‘in Suncity we had a better experience A special thanks to HARSH for helping us get back our Mobile phone which was lost in the flight He was very competent in tackling this adverse situation and didn’t give up till he managed to get it back</div>
<div>Overall a great experience!!</div>

Mr. Hemang Patel

South Africa so well organised and memorable

<div>With flamingo tours, it was our 1st trip which is made a memorable one. Our tour manager Mr. kushal shah is just perfect guide.</div>
<div>On the very first day <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mr. Kushal shah</span> wanted us to have a great bonding amongst each other so that we get the best experience possible. He always tried to serve the best food and at the proper time. The thing that was best in him was that he always shared some or the other things related to the place we were visiting in an interesting manner. Mr kushal shah tried to give information about the place in an easy language understoodable by every participant and never meant to behave partial with anyone. A negative or say a sad point&nbsp; was that the Orlando hotel which was felt comparatively poor quality. We were given quality shopping time and he also enlisted what activities are to be done in parks that are the best in that particular part. It was overall a very good and unforgettable experience.&nbsp;</div>
<div>At last would say that hats off to the tour manager<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Mr. kushal shah.</span></div>
