Nuwara Eliya, the cold region of Sri Lanka in the central hills, has two 'seasons'. One is in April and the other is in August. The April season is the bigger one where crowds fleeing from the heat of the rest of the country come in droves to Nuwara Eliya. In April the flowers are in bloom, beer stalls adorn the pavement, pony racing and golf occupy the daylight hours and dancing goes on in the hotels till midnight.
