Ella - Sri Lanka

 The jewel of the Badulla region of the Sri Lankan highlands is Ella. Compared to the majority of Sri Lanka, Ella and the neighboring areas experience a colder climate. Its elevation of slightly over 1000 meters above sea level is partly to blame for that.

The region is well-known for its waterfalls, untamed green landscapes, and mountain views. It's the ideal location to escape the scorching Sri Lankan summer heat.

In addition, Ella is well-known for being the last stop on the train from Kandy to Ella. The trip, which begins in Colombo and continues to Badulla, oddly extends well beyond Kandy and Ella, but hey, I didn't name it.



Hikes to Little Adam's Peak and Ella Rock, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and untamed landscape, are among Ella's attractions.

But of course, Nine Arch Bridge is the primary attraction that draws thousands of tourists to Ella. This breathtaking viaduct does more than just bend high above the valley below. But when the train approaches you, it tilts just enough to create stunning pictures.

The best ways to go to Ella, Sri Lanka, where to stay, where to eat, how to remain safe, and what to do in Ella are all covered in this guide.


Is Ella, safe for traveling??

In the end, it is safe to travel to Ella.
Ella has a low crime rate and is protected from many natural calamities, including tsunamis, because to its central location in the hills.

Since Ella is primarily a trekking destination, this is where your safety is most at risk.

There is always a chance of being hurt when trekking or wandering alone across the breathtakingly gorgeous countryside. The same is true of Sri Lanka, which is brimming with wildlife. While predators aren't native to Ella, other naughty monkeys and insects are. Watch out for wildlife and, of course, the biggest danger: cliff edges and precipitous plunge.

There are climbing pathways on some of Ella's greatest hiking routes. You'll have a safe time in Ella if you exercise caution around the edges.
