Beautiful Ella
The train ride from Kandy to Ella is known as one of the most scenic train rides in the world. Journey past mist clad mountains spread with carpets of tea, wave to the smiling tea pickers as the train chugs on. Enjoy cascades of the roaring waterfalls and the streams gleaming in the morning sun as they meander through the valleys rushing down to the ocean depths.
Welcome to beautiful Ella! It’s a homely locale with so much to see and do. Located at an elevation of 1,041 meters above sea level, Ella is blessed with some stunning scenic views that are beyond imagination. It the place for some real relaxation; cool, peaceful and very restful. Snuggle up in a comfy chair and view the Ella gap as you let your eyes travel over the distant mountains and into the mist drenched clouds.
