Nuwara-Eliya season gets festive boost from SLI
Sri Lanka Insurance (SLI) together with the co-operation of the Nuwara-Eliya Municipal Council hopes to hold this year’s Nuwara-Eliya season in an impressive fashion with many exciting events lined-up for the festive season.
The insurance company said that among these events are the Mahagastota Hill Climb, the “Minimuthu” Corner and provision of a variety of seasonal information at key entry-points to Nuwara-Eliya making the season a more enjoyable and safer occasion for all visitors.

These special events are to be held from April 7 to 23 at locations in and around the Nuwara-Eliya town. One of the most prestigious events during the season is the Mahagastota Hill Climb scheduled to be held today. SLI has partnered with the Ceylon Motor Sport Club (CMSC) to make the Mahagastota Hill Climb a memorable one for all visitors.

Due to its high popularity, this year too SLI will open it’s Minimuthu Corner, at the Nuwara-Eliya Children’s Park to all children visiting Nuwara-Eliya during this beautiful time of the year.

SLI said it has built a protective fence around its Minimuthu Corner, so that children who come to the park can play in a safe and secure environment under minimal supervision of their parents. In addition, the play-area includes special play equipment and facilities to provide much loved candy to all youngsters who come to enjoy themselves at the Minimuthu Corner, courtesy SLI.

SLI team members will be present at three key-entry points to Nuwara-Eliya and will provide all visitors with a free colour map of Nuwara-Eliya, which will act as a guide to both local and foreign visitors visiting the city.
A visitor could upon filling the coupon provided in the map obtain a complimentary gift, which would be provided by the SLI (Nuwara-Eliya Branch).

There would also be a special “Season Event Board” close to the public bus stand in the Nuwara-Eliya town showing important seasonal events taking place in Nuwara-Eliya to all visitors entering the city during the festive season. SLI has also taken steps to educate all visitors entering the city during the season, about “how to ensure their personal safety” while on holiday during this festive season.

A special leaflet giving these as well as information on “road traffic conditions” in Nuwara-Eliya, put together in association with the Sri Lanka Police, is to be handed out to all holidaymakers entering the city this festive season ensuring that all visitors have an enjoyable stay in Nuwara-Eliya.
