Ella is a small town in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. It is the finest destination to visit in Sri Lanka because of the range of outdoor activities and magnificent vistas available. You are not going to regret your time here, it's among the top most beautiful places on the island. Here's a brief rundown of things you shouldn't miss.

The rail journey from Kandy to Ella

One of the most well-known activities to do when in Sri Lanka is to undertake the journey to Ella. Taking the Kandy to Ella train journey, which is regarded as one of the most stunning train rides on the globe, is one of the main activities to do in Sri Lanka. This is a Sri Lankan ride that takes you past gushing waterfalls, tea plantations, and charming villages. Also, make a reservation for your lodgings and activities before you go. For example, you can check out an Ella travel guide the likes of Ella Sri Lanka for more up to date information.

The Nine Arch Bridge

One of the most notable attractions here is definitely the Ella Nine Arch Bridge, with its huge 24-metre high tower and magnificent surrounding mountains. It is picture-perfect! The unique ancient structure and nine enormous arches of this bridge make it stand out. It resembles something out of a storybook and is one of Sri Lanka's most popular tourist destinations. You can view this bridge in two ways! It's best to take a look at it from the top. You can also take a look at it from underneath it. Although the views of the Nine Arch bridge from the top is a little less well-known, it is one that should not be overlooked.

Discovering the Little Adam's Peak

In Ella, the Little Adam's Peak is a very popular tourist destination. The Little Adam's Peak, unlike the renowned Adam's Peak, is a lot less daunting and easier climb that virtually anybody can do. This hike to Ella's Little Adam's Peak is sometimes combined with a visit to the adjacent Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. So, plan ahead to make sure you have an enjoyable day visiting all these attractions in one day!

Cooking class is a great way to learn new culinary skills

Ella is such a wonderful place to visit that it is easy to wish you could spend more time there visiting the tea plantations and whatnot! However, determining what to do in Ella when the sun sets becomes more difficult. As a result, you might want to consider enrolling in a culinary class! Why not take some polished culinary skills back home?

Hiking to the top of Ella Rock

If you are looking for the best things to do in Ella, then the Ella Rock must be on your list. During your time in Sri Lanka, Ella Rock will be among the coolest climbs you'll ever complete. Also, because the peak is located in the centre of a beautiful valley and is surrounded by several hills, you'll see undulating steep slopes as well as mountaintops everywhere you turn. Why wouldn’t you want to go here with such a promise?

Diyaluma Falls Exploration

Diyaluma Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in the nation and is also one of Ella's most beautiful views. Excellent swimming holes consisting of a succession of pools and a huge single waterfall can be found here. It provides respite from the scorching heat of Sri Lanka. Elephants have been spotted on the route leading to the waterfall occasionally, so keep a lookout and stay a safe distance if you encounter one!
