Ella Day Excursion

Early in the morning, departure from the hotel and a we will take a picturesque mountain route to a unique town in Sri Lanka – Ella. On the way, we will stop at the Rawana Falls, where herds of ubiquitous macaques – thieving monkeys will be watching visitors closely, waiting for absent-minded tour participants to steal a hat that can be exchanged with the monkey for a banana. Ella, a small town, is an extraordinary place on the island, where tourists from all over the world come not only to enjoy one of the most comfortable climates in Ceylon, where the temperature is usually 20-25 degrees Celsius, but also to be a base for trips to Little Adam’s Peak (Punchi Siri Pade) as well as a historic bridge from the period of World War I built from stone by the British due to the lack of steel. “9 arch bridge” is picturesquely situated among tea plantations, dense tropical jungle and connects two hills with a monumental construction from the ground up. The purpose of building the bridge was to lead the railway line that is still in operation today, connecting important urban centers. With a bit of luck, we can witness the passage of the famous blue train that suddenly appears in the tunnel in front of the bridge.

Ella surprises with the diversity of building forms that stands out among the plainly monotonous architecture of Sri Lanka, including many that were constructed using a building material rare on the island – bamboo. This town is especially appreciated by lovers of nightlife, because there are night clubs here, where you can spend time until dawn in a chill-out atmosphere of international clientele, try a variety of dishes from around the world, or relax in hammocks or swings installed in local clubs.
