ELLA

Ella is a picturesque mountain village that captivates visitors with its breathtaking landscapes, lush greenery, and laid-back atmosphere. Surrounded by cloud-kissed hills and tea plantations, it’s a haven for hikers and nature lovers. The famous Nine Arches Bridge, a colonial-era railway viaduct, is a favorite spot for photography—especially when a train passes through. Adventurous travelers can hike up Ella Rock for panoramic views or opt for the easier trail to Little Adam’s Peak, which offers equally stunning vistas. The cascading Ravana Falls is perfect for a refreshing dip or photo stop. Cultural attractions include the ancient Dhowa Rock Temple, adorned with intricate carvings. Ella’s cozy cafés and health-conscious eateries create a vibrant food scene with both local and international fare. The scenic train ride from Kandy to Ella, regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful, adds to the charm. Whether you seek adventure or tranquility, Ella offers a refreshing highland escape.
