Gregory Lake Reservoir | Sri Lanka

The Gregory Lake is the jewel that adorns Nuwara-Eliya, which is in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hill area and serves as a focal point for the town. It has a total surface area of 91.2 ha (225 acres) and has grown to cover that space. It was Sir William Gregory, the British Governor at the time, who ordered the construction of the Lake Gregory Reservoir in 1873. The reservoir was built during the British rule. Originally, it was intended to be used for the generation of energy. As a result, in 1913, the lake was channeled via a tunnel to provide hydroelectric power. This lake reservoir, however, was mostly used for water sports and recreational activities by British citizens who were visiting Sri Lanka once the construction of the dam was completed. As a result of its strategic location and the high-concept beauty of the natural surroundings around the lake, Lake Gregory has emerged as a noteworthy tourist destination in Nuwara-Eliya, Sri Lanka. When the sun is rising and setting over Gregory Lake, it creates a breathtaking view.
