2. Ella Spice Garden

We participated in the cooking class and garden tour at Ella Spice Garden and would highly recommend this activity to others looking to spend an afternoon preparing a traditional Sri Lankan meal. Our hosts communicated well with us, kept us engaged in the cooking class and lead us in the preparation of two curries, dahl and coconut sambol. We were all encouraged to participate and although this is more of an observational class rather than an immersive participatory cooking class, we feel that the instructions given during the class along with the notebook provided to jot down recipes and notes, will allow us to reproduce these recipes at home. The Spice Garden shop is also open at the end of the meal which gave us a great opportunity to purchase ingredients that are difficult to procure once home.

Reviewed By Travelwithjaya1 - Badulla, Sri Lanka
Beauty of Uva.. most beautiful waterfall in sri lanka..located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from Badulla town. The waterfall, which is 64 metres (210 ft) high gets its name from the smoky dew drops spray, (Dun in sinhala means mist or smoke) which surrounds the area at the foot of the waterfall. It's also known as Bridal fall as the shape of the waterfall reflect a bridal veil. The water fall is created by the river called Badulu Oya which goes through the Badulla town.

Kataragama Temple is situated in southern part of Sri Lanka and temple area is very big. People worship Lord Murga and Ganesa and there is no statue of deities in this temple. We had dharsan at the time deepa aradhani (7 pm) in the night and more than 1000 people participated in the function. People are coming to the temple with "Kavadi" and performing other religious rituals. Outside the temple, more open space is there. People believe that this God is more powerful and visit this temple atleast once in a year.

Ella rock roughly takes you 1.5 hours to climb. If you're fit and healthy it can be climbed in a shorter time. It really is a beautiful hike, taking you through long grass, bridges, beautiful forests. There are many routes to hike, and you can get guides who will take you as well. The views once you reach the top are excellent. Definitely a must do when you reach Ella!

Reviewed By CarolineShaw87 - Northampton, United Kingdom
A great visit. We got a large tuk tuk to the top for 1,500 rupees (a normal tuk tuk is 1,000 one way) and then walked back down to the tea factory through beautifully manicured tea plantations. You can either walk on the road or down the steps amungst the tea. Once at the factory we got a bus (40rupees) back to haputale. We had a lovely time but due to our late arrival the mist had set in. Therefore I'd recommend doing this visit early morning so you can see the great views at the top.

Along with plenty of wildlife, a cliff known as World's End is a top attraction at this park.
Reviewed By nir0sh - Colombo, Sri Lanka
Hortain Plains National Park is the largest plain situated in central hills of Sri Lanka. There are two entries to this place named as Pattipola and Ohiya gates. Hortain plain gates can be easily approached by train. In addition you can drive from Nuweraeliya to Hortain Plains. Circular trail of Hortain Plains is the main attraction and you will come across Chimney Pool, Baker's Fall, Great World's End and Small World's end along this circular trail. It is advisable to visit the place early in the morning as mist can cover up the view of World's end. Camping at Hortain plain is an unique experience due to chilling cold at night. There are three camp sites and you need to pre book it from Wild life department office. Hiking Kirigalpoththa and Thotupala mountains (second and third highest of SL) are another two treks which you can do in one day.
