Welcome to everyone’s favourite hill-country village, and the place to ease off the travel accelerator with a few leisurely days resting in your choice of some of the country’s best guesthouses. The views through Ella Gap are stunning, and on a clear night you can even spy the subtle glow of the Great Basses lighthouse on Sri Lanka’s south coast.
Offering the best of both worlds – Sri Lanka’s abundant vegetation and a pleasant cool climate, Ella presents travelers many ways to experience the amazing flora and fauna of Sri Lanka’s Hill Country. Surrounded by rolling hills and tea plantations, there are some great walks that can be done from Ella as well as many adrenalines fuelled activities, such as canoeing and rock climbing.
