The Most touristy place In Sri Lanka- Ella

 Choosing a time to visit Ella can be tricky because it is a tourist hotspot.  The weekend is crowded, but weekdays may be nice.  I went three times to different seasons, took memorable experiences, and can't wait to go again.  The train ride to Ella was a perfect decision I took because I haven't words to explain that beauty.  Lest's dive into today blog,

1) Great moment at Nine arches Bridge

This place was the place I loved most in Ella. It is absolutely beautiful. If you plan to visit Ella, you must go there. I am sure, you never regret that. This bridge was a built-in colonized period in Sri Lanka. The bridge has nine arches to get that name. 

The architecture is superb and this is Instagram spots. Lots of time this place is busy because Locals, as well as foreigners, never missed it. However, check the train schedule before coming and bridge with train is an amazing sight to see.

2) Climb up Ella Rock

When you at Ella, you will be wonder, what is that great looking mountain. This place is seriously incredible. But the hike is not easy as you thought.

If you like to morning hike this is a place for that. the hike is super easy but the view is stunning. it only takes less than an hour to get to the top, if you are able to catch up at sunrise, it will be gorgeous.

The total length of the ride is More than half a Kilometer and it has two wire zip lines. It offers a bird-eye view of lush green tea plantations, mountains, and the beauty of the.  nature. Apart from the zip line, there are plenty more adventures to do in Ella.

5) Adventure tour to Bluewater pond/ Nil Diya pokuna

Nil Diya pokuna is a place who willing to take adventures unique experiences in the world. This is an underground cave that has a crystal clear water pond. Apparently, this cave was made by king Rawana as his underground tunnel complex. 

The founded evidence is not enough to prove it logically. Even though, Local people believe that the kind was kept Seeta hidden in this cave until Rama was found. As a tourist, this is the best place to delve.

6) Amazing Rawana Falls

Ella has super cool vibes. it is very famous for many waterfalls. but Rawana fall is a nice spot to see without any hard work. The fall can see on the road and no need to go so far. The waterfall is falling crazy during the rainy season. 

Even though fall looks safe, it is a dangerous spot to bathe. Besides the stunning scenery, it is the best to place to take plenty of pictures.

7) Go to see Ellawala fall-Wellawaya

Ellawala fall is a hidden gem, even locals are not known. However, it is located in wellawaya, 10km-15km away from Ella city. If you have super curious about a hidden waterfall, this is good for you. you need to walk more than 500m in the middle of the jungle to find this place. It is a safe place for a bath and looks amazing.

8) Campign on Babaragala Pathana Mountain

If you are a camping lover like us, that place might work well. it is 10km-15km away from Ella town and a friendly place for camping.  At the night, the temperature is really low, so bring warm clothes and sleeping bags to face it. Picture yourself into a hammock with a coconut in your hand, gently rocking in the breeze, just laying there watching the days and week go by peacefully by, yep that's Babaragala Pathana in a nutshell. 

If you like to get an authentic Sri Lankan village experience, Meemure is the right place.

9) Explore the Upper Diyaluma fall

The Diyaluma fall is full of mystery and beauty, calling for travelers to explore it. This fall is the second highest fall in Sri Lanka. You can hike to the top of the waterfall and this ride is cool. The hike starts from the Kosgama village and it probably takes 1-2 hours. 

The road is not in very good condition and wild lives can be around. when you came to the top there is two part of the falls with different view.  I can not compare this view with something else, because there is nothing like it in Sri Lanka.

10)Kahataruppa Temple

This is a place with fantastic landscapes, long history, and unique regional value. it is a temple located on the top of the mountain with a stunning view. This place is not very famous among travels, therefore you can spend relaxing time there. 


11. Lipton seat

This is a very beautiful place with misty weather. It is located on the top of the mountain and the road is not in very good condition. but it drives across lush green tea plantations, which is absolutely beautiful. The climate at the top is seriously unpredictable and the view is depending upon it. When we went there, suddenly started to rain and it was fully covered by mist. if the weather is clear, you can see 360-degree views of the entire Ella city with the eye-catching mountain range.
