Nestled in the heart of Nuwara Eliya, Victoria Park offers a peaceful retreat with its tranquil promenades and verdant landscapes. Originally part of the Hakgala Botanical Garden’s research fields, the park was named in honor of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897, with its first tree, a majestic oak, planted by a visiting German princess. Meander along paths shaded by centuries-old trees, watch the Nanu Oya River meander through a series of serene lakes, and immerse yourself in a timeless highland escape that remains one of the city’s most cherished attractions.
