Nestled in the lush hills of Nuwara Eliya, Ambewela Farm is a peaceful, scenic dairy farm surrounded by green pastures and misty mountain views. Often called the “Little New Zealand of Sri Lanka,” the farm is famous for its cool climate, European-style landscapes, and high-quality dairy production.
It’s the perfect destination for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking to unwind in a tranquil rural setting.
The peaceful ambiance, clean air, and green surroundings make it a refreshing break from busy city life or a great stop on a Nuwara Eliya tour.
Ambewela Farm is part of Ambewela Products Ltd, which also includes New Zealand Farm, both located close to each other. The farm uses modern technology and follows international standards in dairy farming. It produces fresh milk, cheese, and yogurt sold across Sri Lanka.
Visitors can see the milking process, understand how cows are cared for, and learn about the nutritional value of dairy products. Educational boards and guides help explain the process in a family-friendly way.
Situated over 6,000 feet above sea level, Ambewela enjoys a cool, misty climate all year round. Temperatures often range from 12°C to 20°C (54°F to 68°F), with lush greenery and occasional drizzle enhancing its alpine charm.
The views of vast open fields, distant mountains, and grazing animals are often compared to countryside scenes in New Zealand or Switzerland.
Ambewela is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during the dry months from December to April for clear skies and easier travel. Mornings and early afternoons are ideal for farm tours and enjoying the scenery.
