Discover Ambewela Everything you need to know before you go

The small town Ambewela lies 6064 ft (1848 m) above sea level. This wide grasslands in Nuwara Eliya District recognized for its two dairy farms called Ambewela and New Zealand farm. Ambewela farm stretches over 1500 acres of glowing green pasture scattered with enormous Friesian cows (each is approximately double the size of your standard local heifer.

Beyond the general landscape - which is definitely the major motivation for a visit to Ambewala the farm itself is a worthy attraction. Staring at cute Baby animals might seems like something you grow out of but, you know, those stud bulls are very impressively enormous while the calves and baby goats are ultra-adorable.

The farm lies twenty klick and 45-minute thrust from the Nuwara Eliya town on the path to Horton Plains. The drive is also inspirational, passing though vegetable farmland, lakes and forested surface area. Another localisation you will pass is Kande Ela Reservoir, a must stop on this route.
