A Visit to Galway’s Land National Park

Galway’s Land National Park is a patch of dense montane forest in the middle of Nuwara Eliya town, just a 3km drive from Lake Gregory. The Park was declared a wildlife sanctuary in 1938 but was upgraded to national park status in 2006 to conserve its montane ecosystem – high altitude forests that thrive in cool, temperate climates. The walking trail is just 2km long and generally flat, so this should be considered as more of a wellness walk rather than a hike.
