Hill Climb
Hill racing in Sri Lanka
The calling climbs of Sri Lanka's Hill Country were once as delicious to British colonisers as a warming cup of tea. The best tea plantations are high up here, along with what's left of the hill station town of Nuwara Eliya. Like a misplaced piece of the mother country, here colonial traditions are proudly maintained and even improved. Cricket isn't the only activity where the English are being run out by Sri Lankans. Once a year, Nuwara Eliya's tranquil tea plantations give way to motor heads planting their pedals to the metal.
