With a relatively cool climate, Ella has some of the most spectacular views of the Sri Lankan highlands. Located in the Badulla district of the Uva Province, Ella is surrounded by uninterrupted views of tea plantations and mountain jungles that cover the vast hills to the towering mountains that frame the landscape. Trekking and hiking opportunities abound, and many tourists are drawn to the area to experience the stunning "Ella Gap," which offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It is also home to the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, an architectural marvel that dates back to the early 20th century.

Popular among both locals and tourists alike, it is home to some of the highest waterfalls in Sri Lanka like the Bambarakanda and Diyaluma. Gardens, natural swimming pools, bamboo forests, pine forests and waterfalls are abundant in Ella's mountains. 

Nil Diya Pokuna, Demodara Loop, Lipton's Seat, Ravana Cave, and the Flying Ravana Zipline for adrenaline junkies are some of the other famous places you can visit here. Take the Ella to Kandy train, hike the Ella rock, climb Little Adam's Peak, tour the Kinellan Tea factory, rejuvenate at a spa and discover cafes on the main street. From hiking and bird watching to simply relaxing with a cup of tea, Ella is just the perfect little escape to a countryside day out from the hustle and bustle of city life.
