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.

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

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.
