EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of Nuwara Eliya, a picturesque hill station nestled in the highlands of Sri Lanka. This stunning photograph, captured in the 1910s, showcases the breathtaking beauty of the winding road leading to the Moon Plains and the serene Nuwara Eliya Lake. The ethereal name of the plains is derived from the full moon that illuminates the landscape, making it a popular destination for travelers seeking tranquility and natural splendor. Nuwara Eliya, which translates to 'city on the plain' in Sinhalese, is renowned for its cool climate, lush tea gardens, and scenic vistas. The region's unique climate, with its frequent mist and cool temperatures, is perfect for cultivating tea, making it a significant contributor to Sri Lanka's economy. The Moon Plains, located near the town of Nuwara Eliya, offer a breathtaking panorama of the lake and the surrounding hills. The lake, which is a popular destination for boating and fishing, reflects the clear blue sky, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the surreal beauty of the landscape. This photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the charm and allure of Nuwara Eliya and the Moon Plains during the colonial era. The winding road, lined with trees and dotted with quaint houses, leads us to a world of serenity and natural beauty that remains unchanged, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
