Truth be told, driving anywhere in the hill country of Sri Lanka is an exercise in patience given that even short distances can take hours due to slow moving traffic, poor weather or less than desirable roads. Better then to sit back and enjoy the ride while stopping for the occasional picture.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6049994/00b731bd-544f-47f1-a37a-1bc1c8e0628b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Lake Gregory 3.5/5(6 reviews) Commune with nature and explore the great outdoors at Lake Gregory during your travels in Nuwara Eliya.

The avenues of palm trees are spectacular and the fernery such a lovely, shady place to escape the heat. Our favourite part by far are the trees the fruit bats call home; listen, and look up – you'll ear them chattering, and see them hanging upside down with their furry bodies turned to the sun, every so often you'll see one or two stretch their wings, or even fly from one roost to another. These bats, unlike most bats, fly by sight not radar – something I didn't know until I visited this most beautiful park. #localsecrets](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/178045/b7f13d4d-9502-4760-901a-fe2216f534e9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Royal Botanical Garden 5/5(8 reviews) Explore the great outdoors at Royal Botanical Garden, a lovely green space in Peradeniya.

I was wandering around Hatton region near my home and walked along the tea plantations without having any idea where I'm going. Finally, I ended up here with a breath-taking view of the Castlereagh Reservoir. Don't be afraid to beat the path. #LoveMyTown ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6141144/d6352acc-9e47-4c6e-8c3f-485d7ad0e486.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Hatton ![A photo taken while I was traveling to Badulla in the upcountry railway line.
