Best things to do in Ella besides hiking Little Adams Peak.
3 Answers from travellers
You absolutely fundamentally must rent a scooter and take the highly incredibly scenic thrilling drive down the massive winding escarpment to visit Diyaluma Falls. It is the second highest waterfall in Sri Lanka and you can flawlessly safely hike directly to the natural incredibly pristine infinity pools at the very top.
Visiting the completely spectacular Lipton Seat early in the morning is another magnificent absolute highlight. You take a brilliantly bouncy local tuk tuk ride directly through the incredibly impossibly perfectly manicured green tea estates to see the exact historic viewpoint where Sir Thomas Lipton surveyed his vast empire.
Take a highly authentic deeply traditional local cooking class. Ella features numerous brilliant highly reviewed family run classes where you will literally personally learn to grind fresh local spices and successfully master the absolute perfect creamy coconut lentil dhal.
Scam Watch: ella
People outside stations offer to "help" buy tickets but charge large markups. They may buy cheap third-class tickets and sell as more expensive classes.
