Ella is a charming hill town in Sri Lanka, surrounded by emerald-green tea plantations and misty mountains. The town exudes a laid-back vibe, where travelers linger in cozy cafés, watch the clouds roll by, and soak up the bohemian energy that fills its streets.
One of Ella’s highlights is the Nine Arch Bridge, an iconic stone viaduct framed by lush jungle, where trains appear dramatically through the mist. Nearby, the Demodara Loop showcases Sri Lankan engineering brilliance as trains spiral around a hill to cross over themselves—a must-see for railway enthusiasts.
Beyond the sights, Ella offers rejuvenation. Visitors can enjoy tranquil monastery visits, experience Ayurvedic massages, and unwind with herbal teas or a glass of local wine after a day of hiking or exploring. The city’s relaxed pace and friendly locals make it the perfect mountain escape.
