Cricket Tournament “Baker's Cup” (Old Xaverians vs Paynters)
April is actually one of the best times for cricket in Nuwara Eliya, but it’s very different from big stadium leagues. It’s more about school “big matches,” local tournaments, and festive cricket during the holiday season.

SLHIKA 26 (Kite Festival)
SLHIKA 26 refers to the Sri Lankan Heritage International Kite Air Show (SLHIKA) — a major kite‑flying festival in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka. It’s sometimes informally called SLHIKA followed by the year (like SLHIKA 24 for 2024), and if planned for “26” that would be the 2026 edition of this annual kite event.
