Victoria Park- A Perfect Place To Meet The Flowers And Birds In Nuwara Eliya

Even physically the Victoria Park is hard to miss

, being located right in the city centre, this spacious park with tall trees and not so tall shrubs and well kept gardens of roses and so many beauties equally attended to and well nurtured.

The cool climes of Nuwara Eliya and the flourishing flowers that splutter its greenery which is only rarely nipped by the cold weather serve as the perfect elements for a ravishing park and thats what the Victoria Park is all about. Set right in the heart of the city and being one of main focal points that makes up a visit to this hill country, the park sprawls over 27 acres with well kept lawns, shrubs and bushes and large canopies of trees broken by sprinkles of sunlight streaming in to revive the flowers into their colourful outfits.

The Victoria Park in Nuwara Eliya is indeed a superb place for those from all walks of life. Located to the south of the central market which lies at the heart of the town, the parks best and most glamorous appearance comes up in March and April months which are usually the time that all the flowers like to show their faces. It is also naturally the season to visit Nuwara Eliya.

The tall Eucapyptus trees that stand in a protected stance are a highlight of the park while most viewers strongly suggest not to miss the Rose garden. However there are many varieties of well kept flower gardens as well as nurseries that serve a wealth of information as well as being easy on the eye. Having the Nanu Oya river course through a part of the park with its tributary lakes gives the park the enormous advantage of being a birds paradise and naturally a bird viewers addiction. Among the endemic birds, the migrant birds can also be seen mingling and some of the well known visitors include the Kashmir flycatcher, the Indian Blur Robin as well as dull blue flycatcher to name a few.

The park is of much interest to children as well having plenty of areas to play or run around in. Having secured itself from the towns noise, the park offers the prospect of a quiet casual stroll, enjoying the flowers and the trees that seem to have grown with a little bit of discipline and more of wilderness producing the most irresistible combination, mingling happily with the interruptions caused by the lakes and waterways that course through the park.

A traveller need not despair of finding Nuwara Eliya accommodation in spite of the city being laden with mostly hills and misty land and fewer buildings than most cities. Indeed it is among the the mist laden mountains that one discovers the Jetwing Warwick Gardens as we know today and as it was discovered so many years ago as an ancient colonial building favouring the architecture of a Scottish mansion. Today it is a well-known destination among the Nuwara Eliya bungalows that is a secluded hideout, with cosily burning hearths and cheery interiors that still somehow exudes the elegance of a mansion in spite of its modern conveniences.
