Unspoilt and untouched by the modern day developments, Ella is everyone’s favourite upcountry village. Taking a train ride through the evergreen tea plantations and gushing and cascading waterfalls is a spectacular experience; the stunning view of the rising sun through the mountain valleys diminishes the sore muscle pain from the strenuous hike to the Ella Rock.
Make time to stroll through the mellow villages, view through Ella Gap, cross the Nine Arch Bridge, spy the subtle glow of the Great Basses lighthouse, wonder through tea plantations and ancient temples, jump into a waterfall and enjoy Sri Lanka’s flavoursome home cooked food in some of the best guesthouses in the country.
