Ella

OVERVIEW

Ella is a breath of fresh air, characterized by its misty mornings, rugged peaks, and a lively, traveler-friendly town center. It serves as the famed destination of the iconic Kandy-to-Ella railway line, widely considered one of the most scenic train journeys in the world.  With its cool climate and dense jungle backdrops, Ella is the perfect place to switch to a slower pace, split your days between epic mountain lookouts, and unwind at dynamic local eateries.


  • Nine Arch Bridge – A majestic, colonial-era railway viaduct hidden in lush jungle, built entirely out of brick and stone without a single piece of structural steel.
  • Little Adam’s Peak – An easily accessible, scenic trail winding through neat rows of tea estates that opens up to jaw-dropping, 360-degree views of the Ella Gap.
  • Ella Rock – A more adventurous, challenging day-hike through pine forests and railway tracks, leading up to a dramatic cliffside summit overlooking the valley below.
  • Ravana Falls – A thundering, wide-curtain waterfall located right by the main mountain highway, deeply tied to the ancient Indian Ramayana legends.
  • Flying Ravana Zipline – Sri Lanka’s premier adventure sports park, featuring a thrilling, half-kilometer-long dual zipline that lets travelers fly over green treetops at speeds up to 80 km/h.
