Ella encapsulates the very essence of Sri Lanka, blending together its finest elements: lush jungle-clad mountains, undulating tea estates, and awe-inspiring waterfalls. As a major tea-producing region, Ella invites travellers to immerse themselves in verdant landscapes, savour panoramic vistas from hillside abodes, and explore thrilling hiking trails. But perhaps one of life’s most unforgettable experiences awaits aboard the iconic blue train that winds through bamboo forests and mist-shrouded terrain on its way to Ella.
