As the veils of powdery mists engulf the mighty mountain range, re-telling a love story that is as old as time, the air grows colder and the soft winds whisper the secrets so charming, to tree and turret. Flowers bloom bright and dance to spring time songs, while melodies echo of the gay singing birds. “Little England”, they called it, this little town where romance beams every step of the way, Nuwara Eliya.

In a land that sees no winter snow, the dawn of spring is rarely celebrated. However in this little town of romance, when all the colours in the world burst out in jubilant song in flower and bud everywhere and the happy chorus of the birds singing spring time songs echo thorough the air, the people of the town awake to a new kind of charm. Banners welcoming spring wave in the skies, as people prepare to celebrate the many activities that spring bring with it as they have been doing since the colonial times. Many tourists gather in the town of Nuwara Eliya, during the Spring Festival to become a part of these good times.

Racecourse of Nuwara Eliya is utilised to its fullest capacity during this period where races are run to win the many awards and cups that are being given out. Apart from the horse races, motor races also take the modern face of racing and the Nuwara Eliya Road Race, 4X4 Lake Cross on the edge of Lake Gregory and the Mahagastotte and Radella Hill Climbs are held during the period while large crowds gather and watch.

Golf, being a popular sport played in Nuwara Eliya, also becomes a part of the celebration of the spring as a golf tournament complementing the list of events in style. Carnivals and the Annual Flower show also beautify the Spring Festival of he town so wholly that one may not regret a trip to this little part of sunny Sri Lanka during this period.

Getting to the city of Nuwara Eliya is best arranged though an airport taxi in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Many reliable and trusted Sri Lanka car rental companies can be found and one could consider contacting Malkey Rent A Car, that offers transport from the airport to any part of the island, for a safe and a reliable transportation service.
