Ella
Misty mountains & emerald tea trails
About Ella
Nestled in the Badulla District at an elevation of around 1,000 metres, Ella is the soul of Sri Lanka’s hill country. Its cool climate, dramatic escarpments and endless green make it a haven for hikers, slow travellers and anyone seeking a deep breath. The famous blue train winds through Ella Gap on the Nine Arch Bridge, while Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak offer sunrise panoramas that stretch to the southern coast on a clear day.
