Ella
Hidden in Sri Lanka’s mist-covered highlands, Ella is a charming hill village wrapped in endless shades of green. Towering mountains, deep valleys, and the island’s most iconic railway line shape its postcard-perfect scenery. Cascading waterfalls sparkle across the landscape, adding to Ella’s serene beauty.
On clear nights, the soft glow of the Great Basses lighthouse along the southern coast can be spotted from the hills, and sometimes even the vast plains of Uda Walawe appear in the distance. Set 1,000 meters above sea level in the heart of tea country, Ella’s rolling plantations thrive in the crisp mountain air. With its mild climate, peaceful atmosphere, and countless trekking trails, Ella is the perfect retreat for travelers seeking nature, relaxation, and scenic adventure.
