Ella is the beloved heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country, a small, spirited mountain town perched at an elevation of 1,000 metres, surrounded by rolling tea estates and framed by the dramatic Ella Gap that offers sweeping views to the distant coastal plains. The town has earned a passionate following among travellers drawn by its relaxed atmosphere, excellent cafes, scenic hikes and proximity to some of Sri Lanka’s most photographed landmarks, including the Nine Arch Bridge and Ravana Falls.
