Ella is the most visited town in Hill Country among foreign travellers. During the drive from the train station to our guesthouse I was shocked to see how touristy such a small town can get. The cafés and restaurants are “westernised” and there are countless guesthouses and B&Bs.
It is that touristy for a reason. It is located in the middle of the beautiful Hill Country of Sri Lanka and offers perfect hiking trails. I spent 1,5 days/1 night in Ella and couldn’t get enough of the beautiful views.
If You are looking to explore wild safari with witnessing various kind of animals with rare Leopards ,Bears & Elephants, then Yala Safari excursion is the most identical experience.
