1. Dunhinda Falls

A well known waterfall in Sri Lanka
Reviewed By Kaushali Y - Colombo, Sri Lanka
To view the waterfall, you must hike for at least an hour. It is not a natural path as there are concrete steps and small Bridges and so on. But still quite challenging. Plenty of little shops on the way to buy water bottles and rest if needed.
The waterfall can be viewed from a platform and it is very nice place to try visit if you are in the vicinity. Have to buy a ticket to enter, very cheap though.

Madu's shop is THE place to go shopping for presents and souvenirs in Ella. It has everything you need from decorative items to useful objects (masks, gems, jewelry, tea pots, brassware, postcards, etc.) at the best prices.
What's more, Madu, the owner, is the sweetest guy ever. He's always up for a nice chat, will explain you every object that he sells with huge kindness. The place is up to the man. I can only recommend R.M.S. Antique shop.

You have to travel almost 10km to reach the destination.the road is somewhat difficult but it is fun. Parking is available. We should walk about 50 steps to reach the bogoda temple.you can even spend the night in the vishrama hall (a place you can rest with all the needed facilities)the bogoda temple is a very ancient temple build by king valagamba the sri lankan ruler.it is a well known fact that king valagamba used this temple to be safe from being captured by the indian kings.the caves that the king used to be hidden, can be seen in the temple you can even have a visit to the ancient temple. It is full of very old monuments of Lord Buddha. near by you can see the bogoda bridge. It is made of wood. it is very strong even today .you can see a lake too.this bridge is used to travel to kandy on valagamba era.so be quick! Go and visit the wonderful bogoda temple.

I hiked along the railway tracks from Ella Station, passing the sign "prohibited to walk on the railway line", but even the stationmaster told me to go this way. Keeping a lookout for trains it took me less than an hour to reach the path on the left that led me through fields where farmers were bust attending their crops. The path had a few branches and i found myself backtracking a couple of times after taking the wrong turning. However there were plenty of people coming down the path who put me in the correct direction. There are two quite steep sections before i reached the top. Fortunately it was about 10.30 am and the skies were clear offering a terrific view. There were two enterprising locals selling lemon tea and bottled water at the top, triple price here, but who is complaining as the lemon tea was really good. I guess by the time i returned to Ella Station the hike had taken e the best part of four hours, but this is a hike one should not miss.

I reached this place from Bandarawela town. It is situated in Badulla Bandarawela road. You can see halfly made Budda stone carving inside of this temple. King Walagamba had made it, actually while he was making it enemies came to catch him. So he couldn’t finish it. when you go there still you can find that halfly made statue. Later someone had completed it. but you can see old one too. There is a cave and tunnel. But cant enter to the tunnel. It is closed. People say that tunnel is going towards Ravana falls. People believe that king Walagamba had escaped from this tunnel. Easily reach to this place by public transport too.

Walked down here to see the train cross the viaduct, it was good and worthwhile although coming from near to the Ribblehead viaduct it wasn’t that much of a novelty. The way we walked was quite steep at the end so decent footwear helpful. W orthodox a look.

Fox Hill can be viewed from Diyatalawa (on the Haputale Diyatalawa Rd) - the small Garrison Town, with many Army/ Air force and Police Bases. Fox Hill (Nariya Kanda in Sinhalese), is the venue for the annual Fox Hill Motor Cross organized by the Sri Lanka Military Academy launched in 1993. It was named after the engraving of a fox carved in to the hill by British soldiers, using the quartes that were lying scattered all over the hill.

Reviewed By Jenks84 - Cardiff, United Kingdom
This costs 100rps, be realistic about what to expect... they show you the plants and then give you the opportunity to purchase what you have seen. Personally I loved seeing the plants that my everyday cupboard items come from, it is a clever little extra tourist experience on a lazy afternoon in Ella
