ヌワラエリヤ地区
ヌワラエリヤ地区は、セントラル州、スリランカにある地区で、観光都市のヌワラエリヤを中心としています。その名前は「平原の町(高原)」または「光の町」という意味です。町はヌワラエリヤ地区の行政の中心で、絵のような風景と温暖な気候を特徴としています。標高は1,868 m(6,128 フィート)で、スリランカにおける紅茶生産の最も重要な地域とされています。町はスリランカで最も高い山、ピドゥルタラガラに見下ろされています。ヌワラエリヤは温暖で涼しい気候で知られており、スリランカで最も涼しい地域です。
この町は、アルバート湖と上ナイルを探検したサミュエル・ベイカーによって1846年に設立されました。ヌワラエリヤの気候は、セイロンの英国官僚やプランテーション経営者にとって主要な避難所となりました。ヌワラエリヤは「リトルイングランド」と呼ばれ、英国植民者がキツネ狩り、鹿狩り、象狩り、ポロ、ゴルフ、クリケットなどの趣味を楽しめる高地のリゾート地でした。その高地の立地により、ヌワラエリヤは亜熱帯高地気候で、明確な乾季はなく、モンスーンのような曇りの時期があり、年間平均気温は16°C(61°F)です。冬の夜は霜が降りることがありますが、日中は太陽の高度角が高いため急速に暖かくなります。
町はシンハラ語とタミル語の新年の4月に最も賑わいます。祝祭シーズンは毎年4月1日に式典的に始まります。4月の主なアトラクションには、モーター競技や競馬があります。モーター競技はマハガストッテとラデラのヒルクライムで行われ、前者は1934年から開催されています。ヌワラエリヤ・ロードレースや4X4レイククロスはグレゴリー湖のほとりで、多くの愛好者を惹きつけます。ホテルでは毎晩パーティが開かれ、シーズンはヌワラエリヤ競馬場での9ファーロング(1,811 m)のガバナーズカップ、ヌワラエリヤゴルフクラブでのゴルフトーナメント、月末のフラワーショーでクライマックスを迎えます。
ガルウェイズランド鳥類保護区はグレゴリー湖の近く、町の東数キロに位置する山岳林のエリアです。面積0.6 km²で、スリランカ固有の多くの鳥類や哺乳類が生息しており、イノシシやバルキングディアも含まれます。町はへの訪問の拠点となります。ここは開けた草地の森林が広がる重要な野生動物のエリアです。ここで見られる種にはヒョウ、サンバールジカ、固有の紫顔のラングールが含まれます。高地固有の鳥類には、くすんだ青色のムシクイ、スリランカシロメ、黄色耳のブブールが含まれます。平原には「ワールズエンド」という高さ1050 mの絶壁の有名な観光スポットがあります。帰路は景観の美しいベイカーズフォールズを通ります。野生動物を見たり、霧が出る前にワールズエンドを見るには、早朝の訪問が最適です。
