We really enjoyed this trip from Beruwala to Ella. It started at 5AM, our guide Navodya and the driver arrived in advance and allowed us to sleep calmly till we arrive to Ella. We stayed for breakfast in a place with a stunning view and later did all the planed excursions, the schedule of the trip was perfect, we didn’t feel any rush, but still did a lot of stuff. We enjoyed friendliness of both guide and driver, readiness to adjust the trip according to our wishes. Navodya helped us with making really good photos in the Ella’s train and Little Adam’s peak. After the hike we were a bit tired and we made a really nice stay at Ravana Pool Club, it gave us forces to continue the trip and see the Elephants from Udawalawe park. We arrived at the hotel at 8:40 PM, but didn’t feel that tired. It’s all because of a well planed schedule of the excursion and great hospitality of Navodya. Highly recommend the trip!:)

I wanted to "just do a day tour to Ella" rather than overnight, and this tour met that need. It was an early start from Negombo (3 AM) and our amazing driver was early - as is normal in Sri Lanka. Nice Toyota for the two of us who slept in the back seat until time for coffee and breakfast in Ella. Then off to take the train and cross bridge. About a half hour ride back into Ella. After that we visited a tea plantation - at my request, then we had a choice of hiking up a mountain or a waterfall and we opted for the falls. Then off to the spice garden and elephant sanctuary where we also had a late lunch before our long drive back. Sachitha was our driver and was excellent. Just the right about of local information - some guides talk too much, some not enough - he was able to quickly understand we just wanted the basics!! If you are up for a long day of sightseeing I highly recommend.

This was another long tour day, but for us it was better than doing an overnight. We left Negombo at 3 AM, (driver was early so we actually left around 2:45 AM). Long drive to Ella, but we knew that in advance. Had coffee/breakfast before boarding the 9 AM train which was a bout a half hour ride back to Ella. Our guide did a good job of trying to get us space by the side of the train so we'd have a good view. Then we stopped by a tea plantation at my request, followed by a visit to the waterfalls, an herbal place, and finally the elephant sanctuary where we had lunch at the adjacent restaurant. If you want to see Ella on a day tour from Colombo or Negombo, this is the way to do it!

We had a wonderful day trip to Ella from Colombo and our guide and driver were great! It was a lot of driving however, we expected that from other reviews and with limited time in Sri Lanka we knew it was one of our only options to be able to go and see what we wanted in Ella. The tour was well organised with each stop having just enough time. Our guide spoke English however, I have done a lot of tours and it would have been good if he gave us more historical information about each place - he had to ask another guide while we were at the 9 arch bridge when it was built as that was a question I had asked him. The day was rushed to fit everything in but again; that was expected because of the nature of the trip. It would’ve been cool to stop at the Rawana pool club I think even just for a drink or something as the scenery there was incredible. My favourite part was seeing the baby elephants being fed at the elephant orphanage but again, I knew nothing about it so would love some information or a talk about it before entering from the guide. Overall a really great day filled with wholesome experiences - we paid a lot for this trip and although we got lots of amazing experiences, I don’t know if it was worth $190 USD Or $325 NZD. Thanks for taking us on this tour and for getting us everywhere efficiently and safely. Apart from the minor things I’ve mentioned the tour overall was fantastic and a great way to see Ella in such a short period of time. It ended up being a 16 hour day so make sure you’re prepared for that! Thanks for having us xxxx

My husband and I went on a full day guided tour to Ella, and the trip exceeded all our expectations. First, our guide Pubudu together with the driver met us at our hotel. I have to mention I was pleasantly surprised that they arrived in advance so that we didn’t have to wait as it happened with some other agencies. One thing I wanted to mention though is that the air conditioner was not cooling the car enough at certain times of the trip, even though both our guide and the driver adjusted it and asked whether it was fine. Overall, it wasn’t a problem for us, but keep in mind. We went to Ella, which took us about 3.5-4 hours, but the journey was great. I have to say that Pubudu is very considerate and attentive: if you wanna talk, he’ll talk; if you want to relax and take a nap - no one will bother you, if you make a joke - he jokes too. He’s the kind of guide you will definitely like. We went to a nice cafe with an amazing view to have our breakfast first, then to take the train over the Nine Arch Bridge. Pubudu bought the tickets, made sure we had a nice place to take our pictures. Then we went to the bridge itself. Afterwards, we went to the Ravana Pool Club, a must-see place if you like to chill with a great view of the peak. The tour is tailored to your needs, so we had time for some lunch and a glass of Prosecco. Then we went to see the peaks and mountains, which was great: Pubudu helped with the climbing, paid for the tuktuks up there, went to each peak with us and took cool pictures. On our way back he bought some bananas so we could feed the monkeys on the road. The last place we visited was the waterfall. We didn’t go to see the elephants because I wanted to spend time at the Pool Club, and I’m really grateful it was possible and no one told us we were in a hurry to cover a particular number of places. As our hotel is quite far from Ella, the tour took overall 14 hours. Special thanks to Pubudu and our driver for making it such a pleasant experience!

Nine Arches Bridge

Train tours in the highlands of Sri Lanka, is rated as one of the best train tours in the world. And of course, the majestic Nine Arch Bridge is one of the many reasons for that. The glorious Nine Arch Bridge between Ella and Demodara station is one of the engineering marvels in the early 20th century. This bridge, which is almost 100 years old, has been built with blocks of stone and cement without any strengthening iron or concrete. The giant arches take the bridge on a curved path to link to mountains. The Bridge was commissioned in 1921 under the British Government.
